 The only song on the album that was not written or co-written by any of The Runaways themselves, "Queens of Noise" was penned by Billy Bizeau of The Quick, the other band that Fowley managed.Jett noted that the title of the song was derived from a lyric in the song "American Nights" from the album "The Runaways", while Fowley referred to it as a "great opening song and statement".According to Fox, Currie believed that the song had been written with the intention that she would sing the lead vocals, but Jett insisted on singing them and, with the support of the rest of the band, did so.
