He wrote it in 1965 about a beautiful girl walking on the beach.

I think many people knows this song.. It's really nice
Actually Delilah is Delilah DiCrescenzo, a steeplechase runner who lead singer Tom Higgenson met through a friend, In an interview he said " I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I told her ' I have a song about you already ' Obviously, there was no song, But I thought it was smooth"
Tom didn't get the girl, as she was dating somebody and wasn't interested.

Other good ones on here too, but this one has a soft spot in my heart.

Ed wrote it for someone he was involved with.

The song title says it all!

I really love this. I'd have loved this to have been written for me; or at least dedicated to me.

Hetfield wrote it for his then girlfriend while he was on tour. He didn't intend to put it on any albums because he thought it was something private but Lars insisted to be on the next album.
