Initially, Buddy Holly entitled the song "Cindy Lou," after his niece. But Jerry Allison asked to change the title of the song after his girlfriend, Peggy Sue Gerron. Holly had no problem with the name change. During the recording of the song, Allison struggled with the right beat. Buddy Holly wrote a sequel to the song named "Peggy Sue Got Married," which was released on a compilation album after his death. Rolling Stone ranked the song on their list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
