In 2005, her family experienced financial problems due to her father's deteriorating health condition and moved to the Valu lui Traian commune, where Stan earned money as a waitress. She recalls having self-esteem issues and being bullied by classmates for being poor, for which she eventually had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) therapy.

Showing an interest in music from a very young age, Stan studied at the Traian Secondary School and later at the Faculty of Management Andrei Șaguna, but dropped out of the latter in favour of pursuing a music career. Her public singing debut was at a Romanian televised show when she was 15 years old.{{cite web|author=Scris de Edi |url=http://www.urban.ro/muzica/cum-arata-alexandra-stan-la-15-ani-video/ |title=Cum arata Alexandra Stan la 15 ani? |publisher=Urban.ro |date=4 July 2013 |access-date=12 February 2016 |language=ro |trans-title=How did Alexandra Stan look at the age of 15? |archive-date=7 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130707170050/http://www.urban.ro/muzica/cum-arata-alexandra-stan-la-15-ani-video/ |url-status=dead }} She eventually participated in various music contests, including the Mamaia Music Festival in 2009. Romanian producers and songwriters Marcel Prodan and Andrei Nemirschi discovered Stan that year at a karaoke bar in Constanța and signed her to their record label, Maan Records.{{cite web|url=http://www.urban.ro/muzica/o-noua-voce-alexandra-stan/|title=O noua voce: Alexandra Stan|publisher=Urban.ro|language=ro|access-date=16 October 2015|date=25 November 2009|trans-title=A new singer: Alexandra Stan|archive-date=17 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017144619/http://www.urban.ro/muzica/o-noua-voce-alexandra-stan/}} Retrospectively, in a 2021 interview, Stan claimed that the contract disrespected human rights and was written in a way so that Prodan and Nemirschi could have a widespread control over her. According to Stan, her reproaching of this matter and the alleged underpayment she was facing to them resulted in several tensions. Stan rose to moderate fame and began being booked for concerts in Romania with the release of her debut single "Lollipop (Param Pam Pam)" (2009), which was given notable radio airplay. Stan's father was involved in her management for two years early in her career.
