I Am the Club Rocker is the second studio album recorded by Romanian singer Inna, released on 19 September 2011 by Roton as a follow-up to her 2009 album, Hot. The complete production and writing process for the record was handled by Play & Win, with Juan Magán providing additional production for the album's opener, "Un Momento". Initially rumoured to be titled 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 as a Europop, dance-pop, techno and house record, with the singer's vocals being processed with Auto-Tune.
Music critics gave the record mixed reviews, praising the harmony of its material but also criticizing it for being repetitive. Commercially, I Am the Club Rocker experienced success in selected countries, peaking at number eight in Mexico and within the top 30 in Czech Republic, Belgium and France. It was certified Gold by the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry (ZPAV) for selling 10,000 copies in Poland, and was also named one of the best albums of 2011 by Inna's label Roton, alongside Wounded Rhymes (2011) by Lykke Li and Christmas (2011) by Michael Bublé.[1] It was nominated for Best Album at the 2012 Romanian Music Awards.
To promote I Am the Club Rocker, Inna released five tracks from the album as singles. Its lead single "Sun Is Up" (2010) reached various European charts and was awarded certifications in Italy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The follow-up singles, "Club Rocker" (2011), "Un Momento" (2011), "Endless" (2011) and "Wow" (2012), were moderately successful, with the latter two peaking within the top 10 in Romania. For further promotion of the record, Inna embarked on her I Am the Club Rocker Tour (2011–2012).
