Trouble in Paradise is the second studio album by English singer Elly Jackson, known professionally as La Roux. It was released on 18 July 2014 by Polydor Records. La Roux originally consisted of Jackson and producer Ben Langmaid, who collaborated during the earlier stages of production. However, Jackson was left to complete the record in early 2014 after Langmaid departed from the group in early 2012. Consequently, she partnered with producer Ian Sherwin during the later stages of production. Their efforts resulted in a primarily new wave record, which Jackson described as being "warmer" and "sexier" than her debut studio album, La Roux (2009).

Upon its release, Trouble in Paradise received positive reviews from music critics, who commended La Roux's shift in musical style and viewed it as an improvement on its predecessor. The album debuted at number six on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 8,391 copies. It debuted at number 20 on the Billboard 200 in the United States, where it also became La Roux's first album to top the Dance/Electronic Albums chart. "Uptight Downtown" was released as the lead single from the album, peaking at number 63 on the UK Singles Chart. "Kiss and Not Tell" was released as the album's second single, but failed to chart.
