"Who Made Who" was the lead single and title song of the 1986 album AC/DC assembled as the soundtrack to Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive, a set built mostly from older tracks. It was one of only three new recordings there and the only one with vocals, since the other two were instrumentals. Brian Johnson, Angus Young and Malcolm Young wrote it, and Vanda & Young produced.

It reached number nine in Australia and number one in Finland, and it stayed in the live set through the tour that followed, the Blow Up Your Video tour and The Razors Edge tour with Chris Slade drumming, with a live take landing on AC/DC Live in 1992. Its last outing came on the opening night of the Ballbreaker tour in Greensboro, North Carolina, with Phil Rudd back behind the kit, and it hasn't been played since.
