Like Keith's 1998 single "Getcha Some", "I Wanna Talk About Me" is cited as an example of country-rap, due to the use of a strong beat and rhythmically spoken lyrics. Songwriter Bobby Braddock ("He Stopped Loving Her Today") was inspired to write a song in that style after hearing "Getcha Some" and pitched it to Keith. "I Wanna Talk About Me" tells of a male's frustration in his inability to converse with his partner, who wants to talk about herself. In the chorus, the singer states "I like talking about you, you, you, you, usually / But occasionally / I wanna talk about me".
Blake Shelton was originally slated to record the song. However, his label turned it down, as they thought it would be too risky of a debut single.
