I'm Awesome is the title of a song written and recorded by American hip hop artist Spose. The single debuted at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 25, 2010[1] and reached #37 in its fourth week on the chart.[2] The single has since gone gold for sales exceeding 500,000 units.[3]

Originally self-released in January 2010, the song received significant airplay on radio stations in Spose's home state of Maine, and in February and March 2010 received airplay across the country.[4] It was released at the iTunes Store on March 9, 2010.[5] A music video was filmed in Maine shortly thereafter,[6] and was released on April 14, 2010.[7] In October 2010 an official remix for the song was recorded by Spose which features Kansas City based rapper Mac Lethal as the official guest.[8] The song was used as an introduction to a popular video blog series made by Phillip DeFranco. In January 2012, "I'm Awesome" was used as a theme song for the show "Mr. D", a sitcom which aired on CBC, starring Gerry Dee.
