Esta faixa foi o single de estreia e a abertura do segundo álbum de estúdio de Eminem, "The Slim Shady LP", lançado em 1999.
A música utiliza sampels de um riff de baixo e guitarra originalmente tocados pela dupla pop rock britânica Chas & Dave na canção "I Got The..." do cantor Labi Siffre, de 1975.
"My Name Is" marcou um marco na carreira de Eminem ao chegar à 36ª posição na Billboard Hot 100, tornando-se seu primeiro hit no top 40 desse ranking.
O single alcançou o top 10 nas paradas musicais de diversos países fora dos Estados Unidos, incluindo Islândia, Irlanda, Nova Zelândia, Noruega e Reino Unido.
A música garantiu a Eminem seu primeiro prêmio Grammy, na categoria Melhor Performance Solo de Rap, durante a 42ª cerimônia em 2000.
Em uma lista da Rolling Stone publicada em abril de 2016, a faixa ocupou a 39ª posição entre as 100 melhores músicas de hip-hop de todos os tempos.
