Background

Stan Walker explained the genesis of his six-track 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. 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. [3] [4] [5]

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." [1]
