I Am the Club Rocker is the second studio album recorded by Romanian recording artist Inna. It was made available for digital download on 19 September 2011 through Roton as a follow-up to her 2009 album, Hot. The complete producing and writing process for the record was handled by Play & Win, with Juan Magan providing producing for the album's opener, "Un Momento". Initially known as Powerless, the release of the album led to Inna encouraging her worldwide fanbase to affirm themselves as "Club Rockers". I Am the Club Rocker was described by Play & Win as their best album so far, while Inna named it very personal to her.
Commercially, the record was a success in selected countries. In Mexico, it reached number eight in its second charting week on the Mexican Albums Chart, after debuting at number fifty-three in September 2011. I Am the Club Rocker as well peaked within the top twenty in Czech Republic and Belgium, while reaching number twenty-three in France. In Japan, the record was her first charting album and managed to achieve number forty-five on the Oricon Albums Chart, with its total shipments of nearly 8,000 units. The album was certified Gold in both her native country and Poland for reaching the 10,000 sales limit, and it was also listed under the best albums of 2011 by her label, Roton, alongside Wounded Rhymes (2011) by Lykke Li and Christmas (2011) by Michael Bublé.
In order to promote I Am the Club Rocker, Inna released six tracks from the album as singles. The first, "Sun Is Up", was certified Gold in Italy and Switzerland, and Silver in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, it was the 17th best-selling single of 2011 in France, with it having since sold more than 100,000 copies there. The song as well charted in other European countries, such as Bulgaria, Russia or Germany, where it peaked at number one, number three and number twenty-six, respectively. Other singles from the record, "Club Rocker" and "Un Momento", were also successful worldwide, while "Endless" and "Wow" both became top ten hits in her native country. For further promotion of the record, Inna embarked on her I Am the Club Rocker Tour (2011-2012), which visited Europe and the United States. One of her most notable appearances during the tour was in Mexico, where she appeared in many interviews and radio coverages.
