“Rebel Girl” foi gravada em três versões distintas em 1993: uma no EP *Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah*, outra no single 7‑polegada *New Radio +2* e a última na primeira LP completa *Pussy Whipped*.
A versão do single foi produzida por Joan Jett, que também tocou guitarra e cantou backing vocal; ela ainda embarcou em turnê com a banda no ano seguinte.
O single, lançado em 7‑polegada, contou com a arte da artista local Heidi Arbogast, ex‑companheira de Hanna.
Em 2021 a música entrou na lista atualizada da Rolling Stone como a 296ª de seus 500 maiores hits de todos os tempos, consolidando sua posição como hino da cena riot grrrl dos anos 1990.
A letra, escrita por Hanna e inspirada na artista feminista Juliana Luecking, oferece um tributo explícito a outra mulher, quebrando estereótipos heterossexuais da música pop.
Embora seja considerada a canção mais reconhecida da banda, “Rebel Girl” também se tornou a “one definitive anthem” da própria movimentação riot grrrl.
