Leslie himself signed her to NextSelection Lifestyle Group and wrote and produced her first single titled “Me & U” in 2005. Diddy heard it and convinced Leslie’s NextSelection to partner with his record label known as Bad Boy Records to release Cassie’s debut album.

First album

The self-titled album was produced mostly by Leslie, and she paid homage to her Filipino roots by incorporating some OPM (original Pilipino music or original Pinoy music) into some of the ballads. It dropped on August 8th, 2006 and sold 321,000 copies within the United States. “Me & U” was the lead single, and it peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with more than 1,000,000 digital downloads sold.

To promote the album, she appeared on 106 & Park: BET's Top 10 Live and Total Request Live. However, her performances were not as good as expected, and she admitted later that she was still trying to overcome her stage fright.
