"Bad Reputation" is a rock song co-written and recorded by Joan Jett and first released from her 1980 debut album of the same name. It is her debut solo single.

Accolades

In 2009, it was named the 29th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.[1] It is the highest-ranked song by a woman on the list.

Video

A music video was made in 1982 after the huge success of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". The video, directed by David Mallet, is a re-enactment of 23 record labels rejecting Jett's first solo album and her subsequent rise to the top of the charts with "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". Kenny Laguna, cofounder of Blackheart Records, appears in a cameo as the Warner Bros. executive.[2]

"Bad Reputation" was recorded by Canadian singer Avril Lavigne for a video montage interval in her Best Damn Tour. The studio recording of the cover was later included on the deluxe edition of her fourth studio album Goodbye Lullaby and on the Japanese edition of her fifth self-titled album. It was then reported on 17 October 2012 that Lavigne would be contributing two cover songs to the anime film One Piece Film: Z; the latter studio recording and a cover of Nickelback's "How You Remind Me".[4] The song was released for the film only in Japan on 11 December 2012, as a digital download on the One Piece Film: Z Original Soundtrack.[5] The 2-track promotional CD single was released on the next day, exclusive to Japan.[6] After heavy radio airplay, the cover peaked at No. 8 on the Japan Hot 100.
