Problem Child was a single by The Damned. It was issued in October 1977 as a preview for the band's second album, "Music for Pleasure". The tracks were produced by Nick Mason, the drummer from Pink Floyd, and were the first to be released featuring new member Lu Edmunds. The single again failed to chart in the official UK Top 75, though it did reach #27 on the NME chart, which used a different sample of record shops.

The single was reissued in Stiff's mail order "Damned 4 Pack" mail-order set. A CD version was issued in the "Stiff Singles 1976-1977" box set by Castle Music in 2003.

The single was also issued in Germany.
