"Cherry Pie" is a song by the American glam metal band Warrant. "Cherry Pie" is the titular track from Warrant's album Cherry Pie, and both were released in 1990.
"Cherry Pie," which is arguably Warrant's most well-known song, was not actually planned to be put on the album. Joey Allen of Warrant has stated that the album was originally going to be called "Quality You Can Taste" (Frontman Jani Lane recalled this differently, stating that the title was supposed to be "Uncle Tom's Cabin"), but the president of Columbia Records, Don Lenner, wanted a rock anthem, so he called Jani Lane. Lane wrote "Cherry Pie" in about fifteen minutes. Allen stated that "...the whole marketing and everything for that record changed. It was definitely driven by the label and not the band. The song was written down on a pizza box which is now on display in the Hard Rock Cafe in Destin, FL, part of the Destin Commons.
Many of the band members feel that "Cherry Pie" is not actually one of the better songs on the album, and see the song as a double edged sword: it brought them fame, but many of their other songs are overshadowed by the major hit. On VH1's HEAVY: The Story Of Metal - Episode 3: Looks That
