Unlocked is the second studio album by Romanian singer and songwriter Alexandra Stan, released on 27 August 2014 by Victor Entertainment. Several collaborators are credited for the record's production, including Andreas Schuller, Sebastian Jacome, Chrishan Prince, Erik Lidbom, and Gabriel Huiban, while material was developed during the first Romanian international songwriting camp FonoCamp in 2013. Unlocked was released following an alleged physical altercation between Stan and her former manager Marcel Prodan, which led her to take a short hiatus in 2013. As a result, she left Prodan's label and signed a record deal with Fonogram Records to distribute the record in various countries. Unlocked features dance, techno, pop, and R&B genres, with influences varying from J-pop and Bhangra to house music. Lyrically, it deals with themes of liberation and new beginnings. Music critics gave the album mixed reviews, criticizing the songs' lack of originality.
Unlocked debuted and peaked at number 21 on the Oricon Albums Chart in Japan, where it sold around 17,000 units as of September 2014. Six singles were released to aid the album, of which three—"Cherry Pop", "Dance" and "We Wanna"—charted on the Billboard Japan Hot 100. "We Wanna", a collaboration with Inna and Daddy Yankee, reached the top 60 in various countries. To further promote Unlocked, the singer embarked on both the Cherry Pop Summer Tour and the Unlocked Tour in 2014, performing in Japan, Mexico, Russia, and Turkey.
