Fieger claimed that "My Sharona" was written in 15 minutes moreover, it was purportedly mixed in an additional 15 minutes after the recording of the song was made in a single take (not including background vocals). Averre was originally averse to using Alperin's name in the song, but Fieger wanted it to be a direct expression of his feelings Averre ultimately relented. And when that happened, it sparked something and I started writing a lot of songs feverishly in a short amount of time." Fieger and Averre worked out the structure and melody of the song.
Fieger recounted that "It was like getting hit in the head with a baseball bat I fell in love with her instantly.

It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, where it remained for six weeks, and was number one on Billboard 's 1979 Top Pop Singles year-end chart.
