What is Eminem's song Stan about?

Eminem's Stan was released in 2000 under the album "The Marshall Mathers LP". The song is a fictional story about an obsessed fan of Eminem.

This song tells the story of a fan obsessed with Eminem. When his letters are not answered, he puts his pregnant girlfriend in his trunk and drives off a bridge. The song ends with Eminem answering his letter and realizing Stan was the man in the news who drove off the bridge.

The song features a prominent sample of Dido’s “Thank You”. This helped Dido gain popularity in the US. Her album No Angel, which had been out for a year and a half, took off as she got exposure through this and various talk-show appearances.

In latest news, in what is perhaps the fiercest and the most exhaustive attack against Donald Trump in hip-hop, Eminem "came to stomp," unleashing on the President in an explosive 4.5 minute freestyle -- which aired during Tuesday night's BET Hip Hop Awards — calling Trump everything from "Donald the b----," to a "racist grandpa."
