Introducing... Stan Walker is the debut studio album by season seven Australian Idol winner, Stan Walker. It was released through Sony Music Australia on 7 December 2009. The album contained the selected songs Walker performed during the top twelve on Australian Idol, as well as the two original songs, "Black Box" and "Think of Me". The album debuted at number two on the New Zealand Albums Chart and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ). It also appeared on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart at number three and was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). Preceding the album's release, lead single "Black Box" was released for digital download on 22 November 2009. The song appeared on the singles charts of Australia and New Zealand at numbers two and one, respectively.
The album was recorded in two days after Walker became the winner of the seventh season of Australian Idol. The album featured the selected songs that Walker had performed throughout the season, as well as the two original songs "Black Box" and "Think of Me", which was produced by the first Australian Idol winner, Guy Sebastian. In an interview with Herald Sun, Walker explained that he wanted to put his favourite performance of Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" on the album but could not. "I couldn't put it on there because I didn't have a big band to do it. It was too much for people to arrange in time ... it was the hardest song I've ever had to do."
