Come Alive is the third studio album by Australian recording artist Paulini, released through Fortitude Group under exclusive licence to Ambition Records on 29 May 2015.[1] It is the follow-up to her 2006 album, Superwoman.

She said "[it] represents my personal struggle over the past few years to find my voice, not only in music but in life".[2]
The album was originally scheduled for release in February 2015, but was delayed to make room for a new song “By My Side” which was released as the second single in May.[3]
Paulini described the album, saying; “It’s a pop album, but it’s more adult contemporary adult pop.” [4] The album debuted at number 25 in Australia.
