Gli accordi di Stan di Eminem featuring Dido per chitarra.
La canzone è stata scritta da Marshall Mathers intorno a metà 1999. La canzone narra del rapporto che si può manifestare tra un fan e una star. Infatti, come accade nella canzone, Stan, che rappresenta il fan, si rispecchia talmente tanto nelle canzoni di Eminem che vorrebbe conoscerlo a tutti i costi. Ciò che accade a Stan nella canzone, è quello che accade a moltissimi fan di un qualsiasi artista che, prima della fama, ha vissuto come loro. I fan si ossessionano della sua figura perché lo vedono come una specie di ancora di speranza, che li incita a cercare di somigliare all’idolo il più possibile.
