The I Am Great Song is sung by someone who can't sing an "I Want" Song, because there's nothing left for them to want. Their accomplishments, popularity, and undisputed mastery of their field leave absolutely no need for daily affirmations — but they have them anyway, in musical form. Singing one of these songs feels better than it probably should. Since protagonists have to face conflict, and people love to watch the mighty fall, the hero almost never sings this song. However, it is not always a Villain Song, and the singer can be legitimately great—if songs were Greek heroes, this one would be Achilles. Can be used as a negative-space version of This Loser Is You. Subtrope, naturally, of the 'I Am' Song. Works best sung by a Large Ham. May overlap with Job Song if they're bragging about their job. See also Bragging Theme Tune, Boastful Rap. Can overlap with The Diss Track if they're praising themselves but trashing someone else, with Bravado Song if they're boasting about their fearlessness or bravery, and with "Gaining Confidence" Song if they only realize they're great partway through. Could also be a source of Hypocritical Humor if they also sing about how humble they are. Examples |

Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier has "No One Remembers Achmed", wherein Prince Achmed and his soldiers boast of his manliness and battlefield prowess, while also bemoaning how outside his own kingdom he is only remembered for an embarrassing incident involving a tiger biting him in the ass, and stating his intention to rectify this state of affairs through war. | |

In Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, the Nominal Hero Captain Hammer tries delivering a Rousing Speech in song form with "Everyone's A Hero," which ends up being filled with Stealth Insults and comes off more as "The Reason You Suck" Speech directed at homeless people and muggles about how they'll never be as great as he is no matter what. Naturally, the audience chews it up save for Penny, though the fact that he openly boasts about sleeping with her in the song probably didn't do him any favors. | |

Disney Animated Canon: Oliver & Company: "Perfect Isn't Easy," in which Georgette pulls out all the stops in declaring herself The Diva of the cast. "Why Should I Worry?", in which Dodger brags about how streetwise and adaptable he is. Beauty and the Beast: The Villain Song "Gaston" is more of a "You are Great" song by Gaston's admirers, but he happily joins in on praising himself partway through, because nobody boasts about himself like Gaston. Aladdin has "Friend Like Me", where Genie sings about how his unlimited power will change Al's life for the better. Jafar gets a similar number in the sequel, mixing it with "The Hero Sucks" Song. Moana: Maui's song "You're Welcome", where he brags to Moana about how awesome he is and all the great things he's done for mortals, like dredging up new islands, stealing fire, and killing monsters. The even more narcissistic Tamatoa sings "Shiny", which doubles as a Villain Song. Turns out that, like Maui, his narcissism in reality is an Inferiority Superiority Complex, and he defines his entire self-worth on the amount of glitter he collects. Encanto: "The Family Madrigal" is a We Are Great! song sung by Mirabel about her superpowered family. It gets subverted by the end when it is inferred that Mirabel does not have powers like the rest of her family and feels an inferiority complex because of this. "Surface Pressure" is also a subversion: it starts with Luisa singing her own praises ("I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous/I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is.") but after the opening stanza Luisa starts singing about her own insecurities and stressors, and her own desire to simply relax and not have to face her family's expectations. |

RWBY: Yang's theme song, I Burn, is basically a very long, catchy Badass Boast about how she's going to utterly wreck your shit. And then at the end of Volume 4, there's Armed and Ready, which is basically I Burn, Pt. II. After the tragic events of Volume 3 put her through the ringer, Yang is burning brighter than ever. Neon Katt, one of Yang's opponents in the Vytal Festival, has her own boasting theme song, appropriately titled Neon, which is about how it's just too bad that you'll never be quite as awesome as her. Also from RWBY: Team CVFY gets "Caffeine", and Emerald and Mercury have a villainous example in ""I'm The One" |

Sesame Street: Big Bird has "Wonderful Me" from Season 8, as he sings about the many things he likes about himself. A Season 42 episode gives us another by Big Bird, "Happy to Be Me", as he embraces his true big bird self and he's proud to be the way he is now. It gets progressively sadder and lustful as he is ridiculed over his appearance by the Good Birds' Club. |

Subverted in Ocean's signature song in Ride the Cyclone, "What the World Needs is People Like Me." When the six members of the St. Cassian High School chamber choir die in a horrific roller coaster accident and end up in limbo, they learn that one of them will win the chance to return to the land of the living. Ocean immediately launches into a song about why she deserves to live again, expounding on how driven, passionate, and successful she is while gleefully putting down her fellow choir members. Throughout her song she lovingly describes them as future drug addicts, criminals, and losers. She divines her best friend Constance's future as a "soccer mom, minivan, four little brats, no steady man!" whose greatest achievement will be as an eventual "organ donor," and calls Jane Doe "a freaky monster!" | |

At the height of the Federation Era in the WWE, Vince McMahon recorded a big music video for his own single called "Stand Back!" Originally presented as a new theme for André the Giant (and used as such in a promo video and the NES game WWF Wrestlemania), it's actually a collection of Take Thats leveled at his many critics over the way he runs his business and the product he puts out. It's a massive Never Live It Down for him, though he's willing to let the occasional jab at it slide. | |

The Act One finale of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, "It Must Be Believed to Be Seen", crossbreeds this trope with Welcoming Song as Willy Wonka introduces himself to the Golden Ticket finders with promises that they're going to see incredible things on their tour of his factory — all of which are of his invention. His world does warrant the hype, but he's also a Trickster Anti-Hero, and the catchy, brassy, cheekily sinister, glamorously-visualized number owes a lot stylistically to the Villain Song trope... | |

In The Pirates of Penzance, the Pirate King plays it straight with his song, "Oh, better far to live and die," the chorus of which runs (and is later parodied within the show): "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" plays with this as well, as the Major General brags about his intellect but admits that he doesn't have much military knowledge. |

In the Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast, Gaston sings a song, "Me", about how Belle has no choice but to be madly in love with him, because of how perfect he is in every way. Gaston's eponymous song in the original film isn't just sung by him, but those parts he does sing would qualify as this, too. | |

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish: "Fearless Hero" doubles as an Establishing Character Moment for the titular hero, singing about the fame and glory he receives from being his town's hero. This would eventually be deconstructed as it's a coverup for how lonely he is, as well as the reason why his love, Kitty Softpaws, feels she can't trust him. Moreso after he sees how he wasted his eight lives so badly that Death has to physically manifest for him to genuinely fear for his final life. | |

Strong Bad seems to enjoy making these kinds of songs, even often including some variation of the phrase "I am great" in the lyrics. Notable examples include "(You Can't) Handle My Style" and "The Ladies in My Town All Know My Name". None of the songs ever seem to elaborate on what, exactly, makes him so great. | |

Thrilling Intent has The Ballad of Markus Velafi, a song telling tall tales about his exploits without giving any details about himself, and admitting as much in the lyrics while trying to con the listener into giving him money. There's also, of course, Better Than You, the Image Song for Inien, who starts by taunting the listener before listing all of her qualities. |

Moana: Maui's song "You're Welcome", where he brags to Moana about how awesome he is and all the great things he's done for mortals, like dredging up new islands, stealing fire, and killing monsters. The even more narcissistic Tamatoa sings "Shiny", which doubles as a Villain Song. Turns out that, like Maui, his narcissism in reality is an Inferiority Superiority Complex, and he defines his entire self-worth on the amount of glitter he collects. |

In the 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the puppet show the Golden Ticket tour group watches after they pass through the factory's gate features a Welcoming Song that, while written in the third-person, is clearly this for Willy Wonka — sample lyrics include "He's modest, clever, and so smart" and "A magician and a chocolate whiz/The best darn guy that ever lived". He's actually an Insufferable Genius and Anti-Villain. (See Theatre below for how a rather different Mr. Wonka boasts.) | |

Hamilton unusually (for musical theater, but not for rap and hip-hop) features one for the hero in "My Shot", as Hamilton tries to impress his new revolutionary friends with a combination of boasting, sheer verbal skill and idealistic fervor.

Central Park: "Momma's Got This" from Season 1 "Hat Luncheon" is a lovingly downplayed, even subverted version of this. As Paige confidently chases a lead for a story with her kids in tow, insisting she has it all together, her kids gently point out her disheveled appearance, she almost gets off at the wrong stop, and she tries and fails to speak Polish. In Season 1 "Rival Busker", guest character Griffin introduces himself with "First Class Hands," emphasizing how much better he is as a narrator than the show's usual narrator, Birdie, and speaking down to Birdie himself when he shows up. Justified in that Birdie is revealed to have been fired for accidentally breaking a major narrator rule. No surprise the song was written by Harry Freakin' Potter himself. In Season 1 "A Fish Called Snakehead", Dick Flake is hired by Bitsy to catch the snakehead that lurks in the Harlem Meer of Central Park. He introduces himself to the reporters by singing "Dick Flake" where he brags about how he has the right equipment to catch his fishes and he's the right man for the job. In Season 3 "Golden Owen: Manager Damager", when trying to convince the manager to let her work at her store, Abby, along with Molly and Cole, sings "My Many Talents" to explain all of her many talents and why she would be a great employee. But at the end of the song, she accidentally kicks the cash register off the counter, which angers the manager and she and the kids are kicked out of the store. |

Encanto: "The Family Madrigal" is a We Are Great! song sung by Mirabel about her superpowered family. It gets subverted by the end when it is inferred that Mirabel does not have powers like the rest of her family and feels an inferiority complex because of this. "Surface Pressure" is also a subversion: it starts with Luisa singing her own praises ("I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous/I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is.") but after the opening stanza Luisa starts singing about her own insecurities and stressors, and her own desire to simply relax and not have to face her family's expectations. |

On Wallykazam, Bobgoblin's song to Hattie in "Buddy Pal Friend Day" is a song all about how great and awesome he is. Since the song is supposed to be a gift for her to show his appreciation for her being his friend, naturally she is disgusted and flies off in a huff. | |

Lupin III has "Super Hero", a song sung from Lupin's point of view about how he's the ideal lady-killing hero and his ego is as big during it as you'd expect. | |

The Nightmare Before Christmas: "Jack's Lament" is an interesting variation on this: it's more of an "I Want" Song, but Jack sings his own praises at several points, to drive home the point of just how bored he is with his job as the Pumpkin King. | |

From Rock and Rule, Mok's "Triumph (of the Glory of ME)". Omar's road song "I'm the Man" seems understated only by comparison. Mok is perhaps the most deliciously egotistical individual portrayed in any medium; in example, his motivation for employing the Armageddon Key to trigger a new apocalypse is revenge on the public, because his last concert was not completely sold out. | |
