** "Surface Pressure" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'', sung by Luisa Madrigal about her super strength and how proud she is at being the strong one of the family and won't let anything stand in her way.

*** "Surface Pressure" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'', sung by Luisa Madrigal about her super strength and how proud she is at being the strong one of the family and won't let anything stand in her way.

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, [[HundredPercentHeroismRating popularity]], and undisputed [[TheAce mastery]] of their field leave absolutely no need for daily affirmations--but they have them anyway, in musical form. Singing one of these songs [[WishFulfillment feels better than it probably should]].

-->'''Genie:''' Can your friends do this?/Can your friends do that?/Can your friends pull this/Out their little hat?

--->'''Jafar:''' Men cower at the power in my pinky \\

''I can't help the way I am''\\
''Hope you don't misunderstand''\\
''But I'm too cool (too cool)''\\
''Yeah, I'm too cool to know you''

--> ''We cannot be scared in the dark'' \\
''We are the kings of bad things''

-->I do stuff with my body\\

Greet each day, Namaste\\

--> '''Sweet:''' I can bring whole cities to ruin/And still have time to get a soft-shoe in!

--> Beautiful, glamorous,\\

gorgeous as me!

--->Meet the latest graduate of King's College\\

The ladies say my brain's not where the resemblance stops!

--->I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir!"\\
Tell the King "Casse toi!" Who's the best?\\

-->For I am a Pirate King!\\

To be a Pirate King!

* ''Film/CampRock'': "Too Cool", sung by the AlphaBitch Tess.

I can't help the way I am''\\
Hope you don't misunderstand''\\
But I'm too cool (too cool)''\\
Yeah, I'm too cool to know you''

* ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'':
** "Perfect Isn't Easy," in which Georgette pulls out all the stops in declaring herself TheDiva of the cast.
** "Why Should I Worry?", in which Dodger brags about how streetwise and adaptable he is.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{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 [[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar the sequel]], mixing it with TheHeroSucksSong.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'': The opening song, "Perfect World," is all about how Kuzco believes the entire world revolves around him and how he gets everything he wants with zero difficulty. The rest of the film then proceeds to BreakTheHaughty in him.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRoadToElDorado'': "It's Tough to be a God" features Tulio singing about how uncomfortable he is with their accidental (and arguably blasphemous) [[GodGuise position in El Dorado society]], while Miguel convinces him to stick with it by pointing out just how sweet life can be for a fake god.
* From ''WesternAnimation/RockAndRule'', 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.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks'': Two songs:
** "Awesome As I Want To Be" for Rainbow Dash, who implies that you'll never be quite as awesome as her.
** "Tricks Up My Sleeve" for Trixie, who's even less complimentary about her competition than Rainbow:
--->''[[BlatantLies Don't mean to brag, don't mean to boast]], but I'm a six-course meal and you're just burnt toast''
* ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'': The VillainSong "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNlpuD42_BM Gaston]]" is more of a "You are Great" song by Gaston's admirers, but he happily joins in on praising himself partway through.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{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 [[EvilIsHammy Tamatoa]] sings "Shiny", which doubles as a VillainSong. Turns out that, like Maui, his narcissism in reality is an InferioritySuperiorityComplex, and he defines his entire self-worth on the amount of glitter he collects.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'': "Jack's Lament" is an interesting variation on this; Jack sings his own praises at several points in the song, to drive home the point of just how bored he is with his job as the King of Halloween.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'': "The Cutting Edge" is largely about the [[TechnologyMarchesOn then-modern]] electronic devices boasting their superiority in function over the main characters.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime VII: The Stone of Cold Fire'' has "Very Important Creature", a song where [[WellIntentionedExtremist Pterano]] outright states that him being in charge would be best for everybody.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine'': The movie ''Big World! Big Adventures!'' gives us "Free and Easy", where [[RecklessSidekick Ace]] sings about his love for racing.

** "Perfect Isn't Easy" in which Georgette pulls out all the stops in declaring herself TheDiva of the cast.
** "Why Should I Worry?" in which Dodger brags about how streetwise and adaptable he is.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' has "You've Never Had A Friend Like Me", where Genie sings about how his unlimited power will change Al's life for the better.
-->'''Genie:''' Can your friends do this?/Can your friends do that?/Can you friends pull this/Out of their little hat?

* ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'': "Perfect Isn't Easy," a shot of which is seen above, in which Georgette pulls out all the stops in declaring herself TheDiva of the cast.
** "Why Should I Worry?" counts as well, as Dodger brags about how streetwise and adaptable he is.

--->'''Jafar:''' Men cower, at the power, in my pinky \\

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' has "You've Never Had A Friend Like Me", where the genie sings about how his unlimited power will change Al's life for the better.

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' has episode 4's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlHraWzssYc&ab_channel=FathanAjja Sweet Victory]], sung by Striker after tying for first place in the Pain Games, and with his smooth voice and impressive guitar skills, you could easily buy anything he says.

* ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'': "Perfect Isn't Easy," a shot of which is seen above, in which Georgette pulls out all the stops in declaring herself the glamorous {{Diva}} of the cast.

* ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'': "Perfect Isn't Easy", a shot of which is seen above.
-->"Pretty is nice, but still, it's just pretty. Perfect, my dear.... is MEEEEEEEEE!"

* ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'': The VillainSong "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNlpuD42_BM Gaston]]: is more of a "You are Great" song by Gaston's admirers, but he happily joins in on praising himself partway through.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'': The opening song , "Perfect World", is all about how Kuzco believes the entire world revolves around him and how he gets everything he wants with zero difficulty. The rest of the film then proceeds to BreakTheHaughty in him.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRoadToElDorado'': "It's Tough to be a God" features one of the protagonists singing about how uncomfortable he is with their accidental (and arguably blasphemous) [[GodGuise position in the native society]], while the other one convinces him to stick with it by pointing out just how sweet life can be for a fake god.

[[caption-width-right:350:This could never be you.[[note]][[ComicallyMissingThePoint If you were a dog, you wouldn't even be using a computer to get here.]][[/note]]]]

* ''Theatre/LesMiserables'' has "Master of the House", in which Thenardier brags about what a [[BlatantLies good, honest, smart man he is]]. Taken UpToEleven in the TriumphantReprise "Beggars at the Feast", where the Thenardiers brag about how they managed to lie, scam, cheat, and rob their way into the upper class, [[KarmaHoudini and are the best off of any of the characters at the end of the show despite being by far the worst]].

I've got a pair of eyes that their getting lost in.\\

** "Haven't You Noticed that I'm a Star?" counts too.

--> stepping out of my hot pink limousine.\\
--> I'm turning heads and I'm stopping traffic,\\
--> when I pose they scream and when I joke they laugh.\\
--> I've got a pair of eyes that their getting lost in.\\
--> I hypnotize by the way I walk in.\\
--> I've got them dazzled like a stage magician,\\
--> when I point they look,\\
--> and when I talk they listen.
