Anne is Lil Wayne’s Stan, except she’s a chick, so it’s more chill.

“Dear Anne (Stan Part 2)” (originally “Anne”) was originally supposed to be on Tha Carter IV but has since then been removed from the album. Lil Wayne said in an interview with XXL that he was not a fan of “Dear Anne” and that it was originally planned to appear on Tha Carter III. On July 8, 2011, producer Swizz Beatz hinted at Wayne possibly re-recording a new version of Anne, after he had said the verses were too “old.” It samples t.A.T.u.’s “30 Minutes”—produced by Swizz Beatz.

Swizz originally made the beat many years ago, titled “Stan II,” for Eminem, but Em never used the track. Eminem also used similar word play in his track “Phenomenal” with the following lyrics “I write with the left, same hand I hold my mic with.”
