"Famous" is the title track of Puddle of Mudd's third album and the song that led the charge for it, landing at rock radio on May 11, 2007 before its official release 10 days later. Wes Scantlin wants to be famous and wants every perk that comes with it, and he doesn't bother pretending otherwise, which drew comparisons to Nickelback's "Rockstar", a song chasing the same dream.
Brian Howes produced it, played extra guitar and wrote it with Scantlin and Doug Ardito, Kenny Aronoff played drums, and Jack Joseph-Puig mixed it into a glossy slab of post-grunge made for the rock stations.
