Upon its release, Saxobeats received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Celeste Rhoads of AllMusic positively regarded Saxobeats and awarded it with a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars.[21] Similarly, German portal Mix1 gave it 7 stars out of 8.[28] PopMatters's Schiller was more mixed towards the record, describing Stan as "the sort of young upstart pop diva that it's hard to hate, yet hard to take seriously." Continuing, he negatively pointed out that the name of the album was related to "Mr. Saxobeat", although "only around half of the eight original tracks here have any hint of saxophone", alongside criticizing the quality of the remixes on Saxobeats, which he overall awarded with 5 stars out of 10.[23] Although Rodrigo of Yam Magazine was "instantly hooked" when hearing "Mr. Saxobeat", he stated in his review that the record's material followed the same structure. Along with criticizing the remixes, as well, he concluded, "Stan has room for improvement [...] making your debut with a repetitive album isn't a good thing."[24]

In her youth, Alexandra Stan participated in various music-related contests, including the Mamaia Music Festival in 2009.[1][2] She was discovered by Romanian producers and songwriters Marcel Prodan and Andrei Nemirschi that same year at a karaoke bar in Constana. They offered her a record deal with their label, Maan Records, and she recorded a promotional single titled "Show Me the Way".[2] The singer rose to fame in Romania with the release of her debut single, "Lollipop (Param Pam Pam)" (2009), which was given radio airplay.[1] 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".[3] 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.[4][5] 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. Saxophone 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.[3] The song was released on 12 September 2010 and was soon after sent to local radio stations.[5]

According to Stan, her reproaching of this matter and the alleged underpayment she was facing to them resulted in several tensions.[11] Stan rose to moderate fame and began being booked for concerts in Romania with the release of her debut single "Lollipop (Param Pam Pam)" (2009), which was given notable radio airplay.[2][11] Stan's father was involved in her management for two years early in her career.[11]

In June 2019, following several months spent in the United States,[63] Stan released "I Think I Love It", her first single as a lead artist in over a year after "Mami" (2018).[64][65] She had desired to expand her music career to the aforementioned territory and also considered venturing into acting, but returned to Romania due to personal issues and her father's health condition.[11] Stan went on to sign record deals with Universal Music Romania and MediaPro Music,[5] and the release "Obsesii" attained success in Romania, reaching number 12 on the local Airplay 100 chart in June 2020.[66] From September to October 2020, the singer appeared as a contestant on reality singing competition Masked Singer Romnia.[67] She also appeared on the second season of reality game show Survivor Romnia in a bid to "discover herself",[68][11] but was soon evacuated for medical reasons.[69] Her fifth studio album, Rainbows, was first revealed in a September 2020 interview,[70] and eventually released on 29 April 2022.[71]

When interviewed at the European Border Breakers Awards in 2012, Stan said the diverse nationalities in her home city Constana have influenced her music.[74] In another interview, she named Michael Jackson, Madonna, Adele, Rihanna, David Guetta, Sia and Robbie Williams as influences.[75] Stan's first studio album Saxobeats features hi-NRG, dance, electronic, house and eurodance music,[76][77] with saxophone being used on some songs.[78] Stan expressed her interest in the instrument, which is often used in her region.[79] Its use in her songs had become her signature "saxobeat" sound.[72][73]
