Linger by The Cranberries
She wrote this after her first kiss and her first heartbreak.
In this episode of Allison Unchained, Allison Hagendorf dives into the real story behind “Linger” by The Cranberries and how a song written from teenage heartbreak became one of the most unforgettable alt ballads of the ’90s.
Written by Dolores O’Riordan when she was just a teenager, “Linger” was one of the world’s first glimpses of her voice—so raw, so real, and instantly recognizable.
