Stan (song)


 
 

"Stan" was the third single (after The Real Slim Shady and The Way I Am) released from The Marshall Mathers LP, the second LP from rapper Eminem. The song samples Thank You by Dido. It is a haunting story of a fan who writes to Eminem but doesn't receive a swift reply. Unhinged already, the fan (Stan) drives his car off a bridge with his pregnant girlfriend in the trunk. The first three verses are delivered by Stan, with the third actually being spoken in the car itself as he is about to drive off a bridge. The fourth verse is Eminem responding too late to Stan, only realizing at the last second that he has heard about Stan's death as he was writing to him. The video features Devon Sawa as Stan, the obsessive fan and Dido as his pregnant girlfriend.
