OK Cowboy is the debut album of Vitalic, first released in 2005. After a year, the album was re-released featuring a second, enhanced CD.
Pascal Arbez said in an interview with MusicRadar that "I was only using a very basic and punk studio setup" for this album. "Polkamatic" was composed as a lullaby for his first son, born during the making of the album. For the track "Repair Machines", he was trying to emulate the style of Chris Korda's vocal sampling. "The Past" was inspired by Jean-Michel Jarre.
Critical reception to the album was generally positive, with the album receiving a score of 82 at Metacritic. The music review online magazine Pitchfork Media placed OK Cowboy at number 184 on their list of top 200 albums of the 2000s.
