Rokstarr is the second studio album by English singer Taio Cruz. It was released on 12 October 2009 by Universal Island Records. A reissue titled The Rokstarr Collection (2010) including "Dynamite" and songs from Taio's debut studio album Departure (2008) was released 20 September 2010. The album debuted at number 14 on the UK Albums Chart and number 8 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The title is a misspelling of the word "rockstar". Speaking to Pete Lewis of the Blues & Soul, Cruz explained the musical background behind the album: "This album shows quite a bit of scope. In that, while it's still got underlining hip hop, dance and R&B-type tones to it, it also has like rocky and indie rock elements. And lyrically, because essentially I come from a ballad place of listening to people like Boyz II Men and Babyface, many of the songs do tend to be about relationships in one way or another. But the difference this time is that, as well as the full-on love songs, I am having a little bit more FUN with it all!"
