Cherry Bomb" is the debut single by the all-female band the Runaways from their self-titled debut album. It is often regarded as the band's signature song.
Singer/guitarist Joan Jett composed the song with Kim Fowley, The Runaway'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.
Jett re-recorded the song with her band the Blackhearts for the 1984 album Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth.
