"My Sharona" is the debut single by the group The Knack. The song was written by Berton Averre and Doug Fieger in 1979 and was included on the band's album titled "Get the Knack." It quickly gained popularity, culminating in the No. 1 spot on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, which it held for six consecutive weeks. The song was also number one on Billboard's 1979 Top Pop Singles Chart. More than one million copies of the release were sold worldwide, and the song was the fastest to achieve Capitol Records gold single status since the 1964 song "I Want To Hold Your Hand" from the The Beatles repertoire.
In the musical layer of the song "My Sharona" you can hear the inspiration of the sounds characteristic of the music of the 1960s. The song was written from the perspective of a young boy. When Doug Fieger was 25, he met 17-year-old Sharona Alperin, for whom he wrote songs relentlessly for two months. The song became a direct expression of the man's feelings and was reportedly written in just 15 minutes. Dogu's creativity quickly won praise from the woman, who became his life partner for the next four years. The entire relationship was reportedly filled with fiery love, which turned into friendship over time.
