The band got their name while in the USA. The four often got coffee at Starbucks, and in the USA, Konstantin was known as 'Stan' - and at Starbucks they write your name on the cup when you order. The waitress asked them if they were a band and suggest the name therefore.
In September 2007 Stanfour released their debut single, Do It All, which jumped in the German single charts, and reached place 46. Their second song, For All Lovers, was chosen by Sat.1 as trailer music for the TV show 'Nur die Liebe zählt' (Only Love Counts) and ran in September 2007. Their debut album 'Wild Life' came out on February 29, 2008. From April 2 to May 5, the band were the main opening act for the Backstreet Boys on their European Tour (Germany, Belgium & Luxembourgh).
Stanfour has also toured with John Fogerty (Creedance Clearwater Revival) and played shows with Daughtry, One Republic and Bryan Adams. In addition to the heavy hitters they’ve performed with, Stanfour has had some powerful players in the music industry working on this project. Writers Max Martin [Pink, James Blunt], Lindy Robbins [Backstreet Boys], Jess Cates [Backstreet Boys], Ryan Tedder [Singer, OneRepublic], and Desmond Child [Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Kiss] all contributed to the album, with Randy Staub [Nickelback, Metallica] mixing the final product and Martin Hansen [The Rasmus] producing.
Even If
Stanfour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I´m still a king,
I won´t back down.
And even if you seize my land,
I feel at home,
It´s not the end.
i´m still a free man,
i will move on.
And I´m ... I´m not alone.
And I... carry my thoughts.
And even if you take my sight,
I won´t be blind,
mind open wide.
And even if you locked me out,
I´m still a free man,
I will move on.
Cause I´m ... i´m not alone.
And I... I carry my thoughts
The lyrics of Even If by Stanfour convey a message of resilience and inner strength. The singer doesn't fear losing material possessions, even his crown or his land.

The lyrics underscore the idea that even if you take everything away from an individual, he/she can still stand tall and strong, as long as he/she has a purpose and a belief in oneself.

The song's message is hopeful and empowering, encouraging listeners to persevere and remain strong no matter what obstacles appear in their lives.
