They became friends and decided to work together. While working on the project in 1979, Jett met songwriter and producer Kenny Laguna, who came in to help Jett with writing some tracks for the film. Later that year, she moved to Long Beach, New York and ultimately, Los Angeles, where she reluctantly began fulfilling an obligation of the Runaways to complete a film loosely based on the band's career called We're All Crazee Now!, with three actresses standing in for her departed band members.

While there, she cut three songs with ex- Sex Pistols Paul Cook and Steve Jones (one of which was an early version of a cover song called ' I Love Rock N' Roll,' originally written and performed by The Arrows). In the spring of 1975, Jett was in England pursuing a solo career. Soon after, Jett produced The Germs' first and only album GI. Altogether they produced five albums from 1975 until they disbanded in spring of 1979. After Currie and Fox left the band (to be replaced by bassist Vicki Blue and later, Laurie McAllister), the band released two more albums: Waitin' for the Night and And Now. While The Runaways were popular in Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada and South America, they could not garner the same success in the U.S. They found success abroad, especially in Japan. The band toured around the world and some of their opening acts included Cheap Trick, Van Halen and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The band recorded five LPs, with Live In Japan becoming one of the biggest-selling imports in U.S. While Currie initially fronted the band, Jett shared some lead vocals, played rhythm guitar and wrote or co-wrote a lot of the band's material along with Ford, West and Currie. Micki Steele (who was later replaced), Jackie Fox, Lita Ford, and Cherie Currie completed the line-up. Joan Jett is a founding member of The Runaways along with drummer Sandy West.
