Her first album, Meine Welt (2003), was preceded by four further singles, including "Niemand sonst" and "Gefühle", both of which reached the top forty of the German Albums Chart, and "Für dich" which reached number one in Austria, Germany and Switzerland and marked her commercial breakthrough.

[2] Farben meiner Welt, Catterfeld's second album, reached the top ten in Germany and earned a Gold certification from the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI).

[1] Catterfeld's third album, Unterwegs, produced the top three single "Glaub an mich", and was also certified Gold by the BVMI.

[2][1] Her fourth record, Aura, debuted at number ten on the German Albums Chart and was less successful than its predecessors.

It marked a stronger shift towards the adult contemporary genre and peaked at number 37 on the German Albums Chart only, becoming her lowest-charting effort then.
