The singer, Doug Fieger...25 at the time, fell in love with a girl from a clothing store named Sharona Alperin, 17 at the time, but they were both in relationships. He broke up with his girlfriend and went after Sharona. They were messing around, although she was still in a relationship. They started dating a while after he wrote a few songs for her; including My Sharona, That's What the Little Girls Do and (She's So) Selfish. They were together for 5 years, but broke up when alcoholism took over Doug. They remained friends. Sharona was with Doug when he died of cancer in 2010. Also, Doug stated he wrote My Sharona from a 14-year-old boy's perspective.

Alperin remembers the day when she first heard “My Sharona” — before she and Fieger were an item. “One day, on my lunch break from my clothing store, I went to their [The Knack’s] rehearsal,” she says. “And I saw maybe Berton [Averee] or Doug [Fieger] say, ‘Should we play it? Should we play it? All right, let’s play it for her.’ And I sat down. Cut to: I’m driving back to the clothing store, and I’m thinking, ‘Did I just hear a song with my name in it?'”
