“Runaround Sue” is a classic rock and roll song written by Dion and Ernie Maresca, originally released in 1961 as a No. 1 hit for Dion after he split with The Belmonts. The song tells the story of a disloyal lover, who has a reputation for playing with men’s hearts, and is the titular “Sue.” Dion mentioned in the liner notes of his box set that the song originated from a jam session at a schoolyard.

The song’s meaning has been interpreted in various ways over the years, but it generally serves as a cautionary tale about falling in love with someone who can’t be trusted. The lyrics describe Sue as “sweet Sue” with a “woke laugh,” and she takes every man for a ride, every single guy in town.
