"I Did It, Mama!" is a song recorded by Romanian singer-songwriter Alexandra Stan for her third studio album, Alesta (2016). Released on 27 November 2015 through Global Records as a single, the track was produced by Play & Win members Sebastian Barac and Marcel Botezan, and David Ciente. The writing process was handled by the latter three in collaboration with Stan, Eric Turner and Julimar Santos Oliveira Neponuceno. A europop, reggaeton, eurodance and dance-pop song incorporating Balcanic and ethnic influences, the record was described as resembling the lyrical message of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach".
"I Did It, Mama!" was met with mixed reviews, with some music critics calling it "an earworm" and "great", while others named it "boring" and unfriendly for radio airplay. An official music video for "I Did It, Mama!" was shot by Bogdan Daragiu and uploaded in November 2015 onto YouTube in order to accompany the single's release. The clip presents Stan being surrounded by different types of half-naked men, and aroused controversy for cut scenes where she is shown miming sexual intercourse and oral sex with one of her background dancers. Commercially, the track peaked at number nine in Stan's native country.
