"Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" is a song written in 1966 by Sonny Bono and first released in the same year by Cher, who was his wife at the time. Also in the same year, Nancy Sinatra released a very successful cover that remains the best known version of the song today, mainly due its use in Quentin Tarantino's^↗ 2003 film Kill Bill Volume 1^↗.

Angelina first performed the song live in public in the style of Nancy Sinatra at the semi-final of Norske Talenter in April 2014. She played it on several occassions in concert the same summer, and did so in many years since, her most recent live performances being done in all of her own 2024 concerts. In her 2022 summer concerts she played a second guitar herself, which (as of mid-2026) she hasn't done with any other song live in public.
