• This was written and produced by Brian May, Paul Rodgers and Roger Taylor. It features guest vocals by Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters.
• According to its press release, this song is a humorous "comment on the celebrity-driven times in which we live where the myriad of reality-based TV shows are producing a generation of C-lebrities."
  
  Drummer Roger Taylor commented: "'C-lebrity' is really a comment on the current concept of fame - success and all that goes with it. Getting your face on TV is enough - talent doesn't really enter into the equation. 'Celebrity' is an overused and devalued word today."
  
  Vocalist Paul Rodgers added: "I see the song as Roger's take on the increasing emphasis on fame for its own sake. It's quite ironic that Andy Warhol's statement that everyone will have fifteen minutes of fame is becoming something of a reality, although it may be down to fifteen seconds in today's world of instant communication."
• The song was premiered in the UK on ITV's Al Murray's Happy Hour. Since when, according to Brian May, "we went back in and roughed up the studio version a bit."
• It's likely that Taylor Hawkins' guest appearance on backing vocals came from the Foo Fighters' consistent friendship with Queen. The Foos have many times invited Brian May and sometimes Roger Taylor out on stage to perform with them, usually to play "Tie Your Mother Down," as was the case at Hyde Park 2005. There is also rough footage from Foo Fighters UK tours in the late 1990s of May performing "Now I'm Here" and selected other Queen songs with his group.
