Speaking with Uncut magazine, Paul Rodgers described "Mr. Big" as "a very tough lyric," which he was amazed he got away with. He added: "I used to listen to BB King, and I think I was inspired by his approach to womanhood, if you like (laughs) – his manly stance! And that song is a lesson in simplicity. Because the simpler the song, the bigger it sounds. The notes have room to echo."
The American Rock group Mr. Big took their name from the song, which they covered in 1993 on their third album Bump Ahead.
