"Linger" is a song composed by Irish musicians Dolores O'Riordan and Noel Hogan of the rock band The Cranberries. The song, which has an acoustic arrangement featuring a string section, became the band's first major hit.
In the documentary '99 Love Life & Rock 'n' Roll, O'Riordan says that the song is about her first serious kiss.
