[edit] Notes

  • The album went through several titles including "Underground", "Basic Thuganomics", and others before being released as "You Can't See Me".
  • The first track, "The Time is Now", is currently being used by Cena as his entrance music.
  • "The Time Is Now" contains samples from "Ante Up" by M.O.P. and "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" by Bobby Russell.[8]
  • Cena originally stated on WWE.com that his previous entrance theme song, "Basic Thuganomics", would appear on the album.[9] However, it did not make it onto the album. It was, however, released on the WWE Originals soundtrack album in January 2004.
  • "If it All Ended Tomorrow" was used in the ending credits of Cena's movie, The Marine.
  • An additional track, "The Underground", was made available on the Trademarcs MySpace page.
  • "Bad, Bad Man" was used in trailers for the fifth season of the FX drama The Shield that focused on the Jon Kavanaugh character, and in the trailer for Seth Rogen comedy, Observe and Report.
  • On October 14, 2008, M.O.P. filed suit in a New York Federal Court against the WWE and John Cena. The group claims that Cena and the WWE stole parts of their song "Ante Up" for his theme song "The Time is Now". The theme song is also featured as the first track on the album You Can't See Me. M.O.P. is seeking the destruction of the song and asking for $150,000 in damages.[10]
