"Mr. Saxobeat" is a song recorded by Romanian singer Alexandra Stan for her debut studio album, Saxobeats (2011). It was written and produced by Romanian production duo Marcel Prodan and Andrei Nemirschi. Lyrically, the song features a love message, where Stan speaks of a man she is attracted to, and the way he makes her move. The track was first released on January 28, 2011 through ARS and Ego Records in Sweden and Italy, respectively. "Mr. Saxobeat" is mainly an Eurodance recording, with it also containing elements of house music.
It shortly became a global hit. It spent eight consecutive weeks at number one in Romania before expanding to Spain, France and Belgium, becoming a top five in most countries across Europe, including making it to number-one in at least ten charts. It has then entered the top thirty of the Canadian Hot 100 and ultimately on the Billboard Hot 100. Following this, it entered the top five in New Zealand and the top twenty in Australia.
An accompanying music video was shot in MediaPro Studios, Buftea in order to promote the song. It shows Stan being arrested, thrown in jail, and seducing a guard to escape. The song was also the first million-selling single in Romania.
By midsummer 2010, Stan recorded three songs during a recording session at the Maan Studios in Bucharest, Romania. One of the songs to be recorded was "Mr. Saxobeat". It debuted in late-summer and it then became a huge hit in Romania. After the native success, Stan decided to sign a record contract with various international record labels, including Columbia Records. "Mr. Saxobeat" was strongly promoted in Belgium, France and Spain. After the extraordinary success of the song in Europe, Stan released the song in the United Kingdom too. It was then released in North America, Latin America and finally in Australia.
