"Big Shot" is a song performed by Billy Joel from his 1978 album 52nd Street as its opening track, released as a single in early 1979.

The song is superficially about the protagonist mocking a woman with a severe hangover for her intoxicated escapades around town, making numerous social and verbal faux pas while high on alcohol and drugs ("But now you just don't remember all the things you said / And you're not sure you want to know / I'll give you one hint, honey; you sure did put on a show!").

Joel told Stern that while writing the lyrics to "Big Shot," he was thinking of Mick singing the song to Bianca.

Billboard described "Big Shot" as "an upbeat rocker" with "very contemporary lyrical content," stating that it was driven by "powerfully rhythmic backing.

"[4] Cash Box said it is "tough-edged and sassy" with "a dramatic arrangement of guitars, piano, horns and drums," a "rich" lyric and "catchy" vocals.
