"Mr. Saxobeat" is a song by Romanian singer Alexandra Stan, released on 12 September 2010 as the second single from her debut studio album, Saxobeats (2011). The track was written and produced by Marcel Prodan and Andrei Nemirschi, and was recorded at their Maan Studio. Musically, "Mr. Saxobeat" is a Eurodance, dance-pop and popcorn song, with its instrumentation consisting of notably saxophone and horn as well as 'conventional' synth and techno sound. The lyrics echo the singer's vision of a perfect man. Reviewers were positive towards the recording, with them praising its catchiness, the saxophone sequences and Stan's voice.

"Mr. Saxobeat" received award nominations at the 2011 Romanian Music Awards and Los Premios 40 Principales 2011, as well as at the 2012 Echo Music Prize. Commercially, it became the singer's breakthrough single, reaching the top ten of the charts in more than 20 countries and being awarded various certifications. As of June 2013, the track sold almost one million units worldwide in less than a year. For promotion, an accompanying music video was shot by Iulian Moga in Buftea, Romania. Uploaded on YouTube on 14 November 2010, it depicts Stan and two friends being arrested, interviewed by the police, put in jail and then escaping from the station. The singer performed the track on multiple occasions, and it was covered by artists such as Selena Gomez & the Scene and Omega. "Mr. Saxobeat" was also featured on television series and on video games Dance Central 3 and Just Dance 4.

Background and release

In her youth, Alexandra Stan participated in various music-related contests, including the Mamaia Music Festival in 2009.{{cite web | title=Alexandra Stan poze – video si stiri |trans-title=Alexandra Stan photos – videos and news | url=http://www.showbiz.ro/vedete/alexandra-stan-8609823|date=12 November 2011|language=ro | website=showbiz.ro|access-date=15 October 2015|archive-date=17 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017082836/http://www.showbiz.ro/vedete/alexandra-stan-8609823}} She was discovered by Romanian producers and songwriters Marcel Prodan and Andrei Nemirschi that same year at a karaoke bar in Constanța. They offered her a record deal with their label, Maan Records, and she recorded a promotional single titled "Show Me the Way".{{cite web|url=http://www.urban.ro/muzica/o-noua-voce-alexandra-stan/|title=O noua voce: Alexandra Stan|website=Urban.ro|language=ro|access-date=16 October 2015|date=25 November 2009|trans-title=A new singer: Alexandra Stan|archive-date=17 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017144619/http://www.urban.ro/muzica/o-noua-voce-alexandra-stan/}} The singer rose to fame in Romania with the release of her debut single, "Lollipop (Param Pam Pam)" (2009), which was given radio airplay. It also caught the attention of the management behind the Azerbaijani energy drink Trojka, who approached her with the idea of creating a song to be featured in a commercial for their product. This resulted in "Trojka", a song which would however eventually become the singer's next release, "Mr. Saxobeat".{{cite news|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iol982JyAOE|title=40 de întrebări cu Denise Rifai (31.03.2021) - Alexandra Stan {{!}} Ediție completă|trans-title=40 Questions with Denise Rifai (31.03.2021) – Alexandra Stan {{!}} Complete Episode|language=Romanian|date=31 March 2021|access-date=1 April 2021|publisher=Kanal D|via=YouTube|archive-date=20 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210420192159/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iol982JyAOE|url-status=live}} It was recorded at Maan Studios, with the writing and production handled by Prodan and Nemirschi; the mastering was done by Tom Coyne in New York City.{{cite news|url=http://www.heavyrotation.ro/singles/alexandra-stan-mr-saxobeat.html|title=Lansare: Alexandra Stan - Mr. Saxobeat|trans-title=Release: Alexandra Stan - Mr. Saxobeat|language=Romanian|date=12 September 2010|accessdate=8 March 2022|author=Deliu, Cătălin|publisher=HeavyRotation.ro|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160703165008/http://www.heavyrotation.ro/singles/alexandra-stan-mr-saxobeat.html|archivedate=3 July 2016}} In a 2021 interview, Stan stated that she was displeased about not being credited as a composer on the song, claiming that she had been involved in the writing process. A saxophone part was added to "Mr. Saxobeat" since Stan thought it appealed to the Azerbaijani people and culture; she ended up scrapping an older refrain idea in favour of singing the same melody as the saxophone in the chorus. The song was released on 12 September 2010 and was soon after sent to local radio stations.

Tris McCall from The Star-Ledger wrote, "The link between the saxophone and sexual expression is a long-standing one [...] Breath is tactile and sensuous, and the explosive sound of a sax in full blast carries with it some of the mad rush of desire."{{cite news|url=http://www.nj.com/entertainment/music/index.ssf/2011/09/song_of_the_week_mr_saxobeat_a.html|work=The Star-Ledger|date=23 September 2011|author=McCall, Tris|access-date=5 June 2017|title=Song of the Week: 'Mr. Saxobeat,' Alexandra Stan|archive-date=18 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181018003513/https://www.nj.com/entertainment/music/index.ssf/2011/09/song_of_the_week_mr_saxobeat_a.html|url-status=live}}

Regarding the saxophone, Stan said when interviewed, "I consider saxophone a very hot and sexy instrument which is also very used in my region." Josh Baines from Vice described the track as a "Balkanized club ballad", further comparing its sound to Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP's "We No Speak Americano" (2010). Billboard called "Mr. Saxobeat" a "one-off mainstream dance single" along with "We No Speak Americano". During the lyrics, Stan sings, "You make me this, bring me up, bring me down, plays it sweet/Make me move like a freak, Mr. Saxobeat", which Baines wrote was Stan's "vision of the perfect man". He also wrote, "The second verse informs us that he's a 'sexy boy' who can set Stan 'free,' but that he's just as 'shy' as he is 'dirty.' Mr. Saxobeat, so it would seem, contains multitudes."{{cite news|url=https://thump.vice.com/en_ca/article/mr-saxobeat-essay|work=Vice|access-date=5 June 2017|date=21 February 2017|author=Baines, Josh|title=Who the Hell Was "Mr. Saxobeat" Anyway?|archive-date=15 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180315200206/https://thump.vice.com/en_ca/article/gvnmam/who-the-hell-was-mr-saxobeat-anyway|url-status=live}} Echoing this thought, Stan stated on German television ARD that "Mr. Saxobeat" was only her vision of the perfect man.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvRwSZ6Wa2I|title=Mr. Saxo Beat – Alexandra Stan – live akustisch im ARD Morgenmagazin – Das Erste|publisher=YouTube|access-date=20 August 2016|date=30 August 2011|language=de|trans-title=Mr. Saxo Beat – Alexandra Stan – live unplugged at the ARD Morgenmagazin – Das Erste|archive-date=24 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111224084915/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvRwSZ6Wa2I|url-status=live}}

When she and her friends refuse to give the police any information, they lock them in a jail cell. Stan coaxes and successfully seduces the guard, while her friends steal his police equipment before locking him inside the cell and escaping. The group enters a dressing room where they find police outfits and disguise themselves as officers. They locate the chief's office and hold the police chief and other workers at gun point while duct-taping their mouths and hands to the chief's desk. Stan and her friends exit the office and walk inconspicuously through the front lobby and out of the building. Cut scenes show Stan dancing in her cell or her with her friends in police uniform.

Live performances and covers

At most of her live performances of the song, the singer was accompanied by saxophonist Basasteanu on stage, which was his idea.{{cite news|url=http://spynews.ro/stiri-tari-din-presa/alexandra-stan-nu-e-singura-victima-a-managerului-bataus-marcel-prodan-suge-de-bani-pe-oricine-apuca-2154.html|title=Alexandra Stan nu e singura victimă a managerului bătăuş!
