Originalmente hecha por The Arrows en 1975, Joan Jett al escucharla en un programa de TV decidió grabarla en 1979 con la ayuda de 2 músicos de los Sex Pistols, Steve Jones and Paul Cook, pero esa versión no tuvo mayor éxito.
En 1982 decidió regrabarla con su banda, The Blackhearts alcanzando el éxito, llegando a estar 7 semanas en primer lugar del Ranking de Billboard y en el puesto 484 de la lista de las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos de la revista Rolling Stones.
