• "Cherry Medicine," on the surface, sounds like it's about a girl, which would be in character for Ace Frehley, but he told Songfacts there is another layer.
  
  "Because I'm a recovering drug addict it has a double meaning for me, because in the '80s and '90s I used to go to the Limelight in Manhattan, and I was addicted to this cherry cough medicine called Hycodan," he said. "I used to order a glass of sparkling water and I'd pour some of the cherry cough medicine into the glass, and I'd walk around. Everybody thought I was drinking vodka and cranberry, but lo and behold, I was drinking cough medicine with seltzer."
• Frehley released the song on his album 10,000 Volts, which he worked on with Steve Brown from the band Trixter. It was released as a single on February 22, 2024, the day before the album came out.
• The music video was directed by Justin H. Reich and shows Frehley with a Ferrari and a harum - just his speed! Lara, his fiancé at the time, is one of the leather-clad ladies and also shows up on the cover to the single.
• Ace Frehley played "Cherry Medicine" live for the first time during his concert on May 26, 2024, at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.
