Origins
"No More Mr. Nice Guy" was the first song written for the ''Supermen: The Musical. It was designed to be incredibly basic, inspired by other such freedom anthems as "Let it Go" (Frozen) and "Defying Gravity" (Wicked'').

Context
At the end of the show's first act, Captain Steel finds himself alone on the back steps of City Hall, looking up at the sky and pondering his existence in the wake of the Cougar's death and the team's failure to find the Hero Killer. Watching the stars, he is inspired to go for a flight, but once he's in the air, he realizes how a lack of independence has numbed him. He realizes that selflessly helping others won't make him happy now that they have come to take advantage of his kindness. He realizes that he needs to stand up for himself and be his own hero and find his place in the universe. Then he flies off to the moon.

Composition
The song is genred as a pop-rock power ballad, following traditional AABA structure, centered around a twinkling obstinato motif. It roughly follows the chord structure I ii vi IV in the key of Db Major (Db Ebm Bbm Gb), although during the pre-chorus the chords slightly vary to I ii iii IV (Db Ebm Fm Gb).

Marty's Performance
The song first reached the public during a performance at Hillsdale High School's Marty Awards by Alara Magritte and Daniel Rosen, where it received lukewarm response.
