The story behind the song

"When Will I Be Loved" is a song penned by Phil Everly, exploring the universal longing for reciprocated affection. The Everly Brothers' 1960 recording captured a rockabilly-style sound, a final hit in that genre for them. Linda Ronstadt's later version brought the song to an even wider audience, rearranging the verses to shift the emphasis of the narrative. At its heart, the song expresses a poignant question about finding love that endures.
