About song

Rhythm guitarist/back-vocalist Joan Jett composed the song with Kim Fowley, the band's then-manager. In the 2005 documentary Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways, Fowley and former Runaways lead singer Cherie Currie claimed that "Cherry Bomb" was quickly written just for Currie to audition for the band because the band members could not perform the song she originally chose to sing.

The song was included in the soundtrack for the 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy, in the second episode of the 2019 Amazon Prime series The Boys, and in the 2021 Netflix film Fear Street Part Two: 1978.

Jett re-recorded the song with her band the Blackhearts for the 1984 album Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth. Cherie Currie also re-recorded "Cherry Bomb" with Marie Currie, her twin sister, on their 1997 re-released version of the album Messin' with the Boys.

[de] Cherry Bomb (Lied)

Cherry Bomb ist die Debütsingle der ausschließlich weiblich besetzten US-amerikanischen Rock-Band The Runaways. Das Lied erschien 1976 auf dem ebenfalls The Runaways betitelten Debütalbum. Die Bewertung des Songs in der westlichen Welt war gemischt, wobei die aus fünf Teenagern bestehende Formation einen schlechten Ruf erlangte, nicht zuletzt dank der als trashig empfundenen Dessous, die ihre Frontfrau Cherie Currie beim Vortrag des „[zornigen] Liedes über sexuelle Rebellion“ auf der Bühne trug.[18] In Japan hingegen belegte das Stück Platz 1 der Musikcharts. Das Lied entwickelte sich zum signature song der Band,[19] einem identitätsprägenden Titel mit hohem Wiedererkennungswert, wurde jedoch später wegen seines Einflusses auf das Image der Band zu einem Streitpunkt unter ihren Mitgliedern.
