Darum leben wir (English: That Is Why We Live) is the second studio album by German singer Cassandra Steen. It was released by Universal Urban on 20 February 2009 in German-speaking Europe. Darum leben wir marked Steen's first release after parting ways with her long-time collaborators Moses Pelham and Martin Haas and their record label 3P. The singer worked with Marek Pompetzki and Paul NZA on the majority of the album, while additional production was provided by Mathias Grosch, Andreas Herbig, and Oliver Pinelli. Steen's biggest commercial success, it was certified gold by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI), indicating sales in excess of 100,000 units.[1]

Christiane Stuckemeier vom Terrorverlag rated the album five out of ten stars. She found that "with 11 tracks and a remix of the title song, Steen offers continuity without repeating herself with her soulful voice. Gentle but haunting, three quarters of an hour of chilled beats, string arrangements or well-dosed acoustic guitar offer a lot for the mood – so not for those with an allergy to emotions."[3] laut.de editor Dani Fromm rated the album one out of five stars. She wrote: "No help in sight, at least not on the musical side. While the generally acceptable title track and opening song [...] is at least somewhat memorable in the chorus, the rest of the album lacks any zest."[2]
