iDon (also stylized as iDON and idon) is the third studio album by Puerto Rican reggaeton performer Don Omar released worldwide[4] on April 28, 2009 through Universal Music Group and Machete Music. The album was assumed to be named Icon when news of the upcoming album circulated the internet, but was later confirmed to be named iDon in November 2008.[5] The album has an overall electro-dance vibe, mixed with the typical Latin-Urban style of Don Omar.

| “ | iDON, the album, is an epic musical event that represents the new chapter in the Don Omar saga. The album, scheduled for an April 28 release, is the brand new studio album that details the transformation of the visionary recording artist into iDON, a half man-half machine creation. A transformation of the international superstar into a cybernetic being.[6] | ” |

The concept of the album was revealed when Universal Music Group described the music on the album as "an evolution of Don Omar’s music fusing electronic, dance, hip-hop and reggaeton sounds as the musical landscape for the Latin music superstar’s revolutionary lyrics."[7] The label also stated that the album "will be supported by visual and marketing campaign elements focused on positioning Don Omar as the defining artist for the digital age and the leader of the music world’s next generation."[8] The record label also described iDon to be "one of the most anticipated albums in the history of Latin music."[8] As stated above, the album is expected to have an overall electro-dance vibe with an urban touch to it.
The album is mainly produced by long-time working reggaeton producer Diesel, who also produced one of Don Omar's well known singles, "Salió El Sol."[9] The album will also include addition production from Danny Fornaris, Echo and Effect-O.[9] It was originally believed to also include album collaborations with Marcy Place, a bachata group founded by Don Omar. It was later confirmed that they would not be performing with Don Omar on his third studio album.[9]
