About the Song
“I Wanna Talk About Me” is a country song written and recorded by Toby Keith. It was released in August 2001 as the second single from his album Pull My Chain. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in the United States and number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song is a humorous ode to self-centeredness. The narrator is unapologetically focused on himself and his own interests, and he’s not afraid to let everyone know it. He sings about his love of talking about himself, his good looks, and his many accomplishments.
The song is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it also strikes a chord with anyone who has ever felt like they’re not getting enough attention. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to put yourself first sometimes and to celebrate your own awesomeness.
