Infatuation is the second studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Kate Alexa, released on August 17, 2012 in Australia by Liberation Music.

The album was released six years after Alexa's debut Broken & Beautiful (2006), and was preceded by four singles, "Infatuation", "X Rated", "I'm Falling" and "I Deny".

We wrote, then looked back over the other stuff, and it just happened that [the songs written with Nichols] just worked together.

Alexa also defends her decision to include profanity in the album's lyrics, something not used in her previous works, by stating that "people interpret what they want from the music"[8] and adding "I was 16 and 17 when I wrote [Broken & Beautiful] and now I'm 24, so I guess it was just a natural progression and writing about different times in your life.

[9] All the album's songs were inspired by Alexa's own life experiences; "Katie" is described as being "fun and introspective" and "examines the concept of perfection and how it differs from person to person", while "Addict" "captures how emotionally exhausting love can be with its insatiable desires", and the title track "explores the obsessiveness of being infatuated based on passing comments made by girlfriends".
