"Stand" is a song by American singer Jewel from her fifth studio album, 0304 (2003). Written and produced by Jewel and Lester Mendez, the song was released as the album's second single on September 2, 2003. "Stand" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, instead reaching number 16 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart, while becoming Jewel's third consecutive number-one song on the Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Background and writing

"Stand" was written and produced by Kilcher and Lester Mendez.[1]

Commercial release

The single edit saw no alteration from its original version. However, it was listed as Single Mix on some promotional singles, which is no different from the album version.

"Stand" was released in two formats in the United States; the CD single contains "Stand" and the 0304 track "Leave the Lights On" as its B-side, while the CD maxi single contains the song's club mixes. Both singles contained two different covers. International releases of the single received the title track and a few club mixes for its final release.

Critical reception

Todd Burns of Stylus Magazine wrote, "['Stand'] is a strong first song and while the lyrics are vaguely suspect, they can be ignored in favor of the driving beat."[2]

Music video

The music video for "Stand" was directed by Chris Applebaum. It shows Jewel and some of the events described throughout the song's lyrics.
