The song was released in early-1979, just as his other hit single from that same album, "My Life", was peaking at #3. It would soon become his second top-twenty hit of 1979, peaking at #14.
A longstanding Internet rumor that the song was based on a bad date with Bianca Jagger is not true. In an interview with The Australian in 2006, Billy Joel said "I read that the song Big Shot is said to be about a date I had with Bianca Jagger. I never had a date with Bianca Jagger."
