***Stan*** is the debut [extended play](/source/Extended_play) by Australian-New Zealand recording artist [Stan Walker](/source/Stan_Walker). It was released in Australia and New Zealand on 26 March 2018 by [Sony Music New Zealand](/source/Sony_Music_Australia). The EP provided two singles, "Thank You" (March 2018) and "Find You" (October).

## Background

[Stan Walker](/source/Stan_Walker) explained the genesis of his six-track [extended play](/source/Extended_play). He described how, in September 2017, he underwent surgery to remove part of his stomach after discovering he had inherited a cancer-causing gene mutation, [CDH1](/source/CDH1_(gene)). In January 2018 a fan expressed concern for Walker's health after gaunt photos appeared on social media. A feature-length documentary, *Stan*, was released in New Zealand in March 2018.[1][2][3]

Walker said "This EP has songs I've written 11 years ago, 5 years ago, 3 years ago and now. All these songs were written in break even times in my life. So I thought now would be a perfect time for them to be heard, alongside 1 of the biggest times of my life. This isn't really an indication of what's to come next, but these songs are for now."[4]
