Alesta is the third studio album recorded by Romanian recording artist Alexandra Stan. It was made available for digital download on 9 March 2016 through Victor Entertainment as a follow-up to her 2014 album, Unlocked. Stan collaborated with several record producers on this album, including Andreas Schuller, Thomas Troelsen, Sebastian Barac and Marcel Botezan. She also took part at a music camp organized by Marius Moga, where she further worked on material featured on this album. The music of Alesta draws influence from ethnic, Eastern and Western European music, while having a danceable and partying vibe. Most of the songs are set to uptempo, with Stan pointing out electronic pop, dance and R&B styles used when producing the album. Lyrically, the singer confessed during an interview with Romanian online magazine Kudika that every recording "[tells] a different story".
Upon its release, Alesta debuted and peaked at number 34 on the Japanese Oricon Albums Chart. Four tracks from the album were released as singles. " We Wanna", a collaboration with Inna and Daddy Yankee, reached the top sixty in several countries, while " I Did It, Mama!" became a top ten hit in Stan's native country, with its video eventually arousing controversy. The record's last releases, " Balans" and "Écoute", portrayed featurings with Swedish-Congolese singer Mohombi and Romanian band Havana. To promote Alesta, Stan embarked on a two-week tour in Japan, while appearing in many interviews and media coverages there.
