Vocalist Natalie Horler said of this song: "We have definitely developed the Cascada sound. With 'Evacuate The Dancefloor', we've taken all we learnt over the last few years and moved on. It's refreshing and fun. I love R 'n' B and I've always had a soulful voice, but I didn't have much opportunity to show that off. This song is more of a challenge for me to sing. I can't wait to take it to the clubs." (Source Evacuate the Dancefloor Songfacts).
On charts, the song peaked at #5 on the German singles chart. Outside of the group's home country, the single reached #1 in the UK, the Netherlands, Israel, and in Scotland. It reached the top 10 of numerous countries including, Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, and Norway. The single became Cascada's third song to top the US Billboard Hot Dance Airplay chart. Evacuate The Dancefloor became the group's second top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at #25 on the US Hot 100 chart.

Cascada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like to move it come and give me some more
Watch me getting physical, out of control (Ah-ha)
There's people watching me (ah-ha)
I never miss a beat
Still the night, kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
'Cause it's pulling you in
Wrap it up you can't stop
'Cause it feels like an overdose (Feels like an overdose)
(Oh, oh) evacuate the dance floor
(Oh, oh) I'm infected by the sound
(Oh, oh) stop this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. DJ let the music take me underground
(Oh, oh) evacuate the dance floor
(Oh, oh) I'm infected by the sound
(Oh, oh) stop this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. DJ let the music take me underground
(Oh) My body's aching, system overload (overload)
Temperature's rising, I'm about to explode
Watch me I'm intoxicated taking the show (ah-ha)
It's got me hypnotized (ah-ha)
Everybody step aside
Still the night, kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right, keep it tight
'Cause it's pulling you in
Wrap it up you can't stop
'Cause it feels like an overdose (feels like an overdose)
(Oh, oh) evacuate the dance floor
(Oh, oh) I'm infected by the sound
(Oh, oh) stop this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. Dj let the music take me underground
(Oh, oh) evacuate the dance floor
(Oh, oh) I'm infected by the sound
(Oh, oh) stop this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. Dj let the music take me underground
Come on and evacuate, feel the club is heating up
Move on and accelerate, push it to the top
Come on and evacuate, feel the club is heating up
Move on and accelerate, you don't have to be afraid
Now guess who's back with a brand new track?
They got everybody in the club going mad
So everybody in the back get your back up
Off the wall and just shake that thang
Go crazy, yo lady, yo baby
Let me see you wreck that thang
Now drop it down low, low
Let me see you take it to the dance floor, yo
Everybody in the club (evacuate the dance floor)
Everybody in the club (I'm infected by the sound)
Everybody in the club (stop this beat is killing me)
Hey Dr. DJ let the music take me underground

(Oh, oh) stop this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. DJ come burn this place right down to the ground
