Alexis Jordan is the only studio album by American singer Alexis Jordan. It was released from February 25, 2011, through Roc Nation. After signing with Jay-Z's Roc Nation label in March 2010, Jordan began work on her debut album, collaborating with Norwegian production duo Stargate, as well as producers Sandy Vee, Nightwatch, and Espionage. A dance-pop record that blends elements of electro pop and R&B, Alexis Jordan was recorded over a period of nearly four years, from January 2007 to October 2010.

The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its upbeat energy and lyrics—one noting they could "melt an ice-cold heart," and another calling it "dancefloor friendly." However, some felt it lacked a distinct style and drew comparisons to Rihanna. Alexis Jordan debuted at number nine in the United Kingdom, where it was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The album also reached number eleven in Australia and landed within the top 30 in both Ireland and the Netherlands.

Alexis Jordan was preceded by lead single "Happiness." The song became a number-one hit in Norway and the Netherlands and reached the top 10 in several other countries, while also peaking at number one on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart. The album's second single "Good Girl" peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart, with third and final single, "Hush Hush" reaching the 20 in the Netherlands. It also charted in Ireland and the United Kingdom almost one month before its official release.
