Plug It In is the fourth album of Dutch rockband Krezip. It is their second album on their new label Sony BMG. The album was released on May 11, 2007. It notably features a disco-inspired sound on most of its songs as opposed to the alternative rock sound of earlier albums. This was because the band decided they needed a big change to their sound after ten years. Lead singer Jacqueline Govaert decided to base this new sound off bands such as Blondie and The Sounds^[1]; in fact, members of The Sounds co-wrote some of the album's tracks.

A special edition of the album was released on February 29, 2008.
