"Stand" is a song produced, written, arranged, composed and performed by Lenny Kravitz from his album, Black and White America (2011).

The song was written by Kravitz about a close friend, who was paralyzed from the waist down from an accident, who later recovered.

[2][3] Matthew Perpetua of Rolling Stone gave the song a three stars rating out of five commenting "The second single from Kravitz's Black and White America, due out August 30th, borrows the melodic phrasing of vintage cranky Elvis Costello, yet still somehow sounds like a groovy windows-down, volume-up summer hit.

"[4] Melinda Newman of HitFix named it "Summer's best song" and explained it is "a perfect pop slice that is implanted into your head after one listen".

[6] In the video, Kravitz portrays three characters: Bart Billingsworth, host of a crooked game show "Run for Your Money" (with some similarities to the old Let's Make a Deal), and the game-show house-band drummer Bubba Washington and lead singer Desmond Richie.
