Ma Fleur (my flower, in French) is the fourth full-length release and third proper studio album by The Cinematic Orchestra, released on 7 May 2007. The album is less jazz-influenced than the band's previous albums, but still retains their familiar downtempo sound. The North American version of the album contains 10 tracks in a different sequence from the UK version and omits "Child Song". The song "To Build a Home" was used in a 2008 Schweppes Lemonade advertisement, and the similar shorter song "That Home" in the trailer for 2011 film Another Earth.
