In April 1963, her single "I Will Follow Him" had soared to number one on U.S. charts. Recorded in early January 1963 and released January 22 of that year, it made Peggy March the youngest female singer with a number one hit at age fifteen. The record also took the number one spot in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Scandinavia.
Her success also came with financial trouble. March was a minor and the Coogan Law prevented her parents from managing her money. The responsibility was placed on her manager, Russell Smith. It was discovered in 1966 that he had squandered the fortune away, leaving her with $500. She soon had a new manager, Arnie Harris, who became her husband and gave her one daughter, Sande, born in 1974.
Though she is remembered by some as a one-hit wonder, her singles "I Wish I Were a Princess" and "Hello Heartache, Goodbye Love" made the Top 30 in the United States and the United Kingdom. She began making a very strong presence in the European and Asian music markets, and she moved to Germany around 1969. Her commercial success in Germany continued through much of the 1970s. In 1979 she experimented with disco on the album, Electrifying, but it failed to achieve commercial success. By 1981 record companies did not renew her contracts, and she moved back to the United States. A retro fad in Germany brought her some continuing success starting in the mid-1990s. Her song "I Will Follow Him" largely inspired the beat in the Eminem and Dr. Dre song Guilty Conscience, and was also featured in the 1992 movie Sister Act. Currently she works largely in the Las Vegas music scene.

I Love Him, I Love Him, I Love Him
And Where He Goes I'll Follow, I'll Follow, I'll Follow

He'll Always Be My True Love, My True Love, My True Love
From Now Until Forever, Forever, Forever

Follow Him Wherever He May Go
There Isn't An Ocean Too Deep
A Mountain So High It Can Keep, Keep Me Away

" I Will Follow Him" by Little Peggy March talks about a woman's unconditional love for a man. She expresses her deep admiration and devotion towards her lover, and how she is willing to follow him wherever he may go. The first verse states that she loves him and will follow him wherever he goes. She then says that no ocean or mountain can stop her from doing so. The chorus reiterates the fact that she will follow him wherever he goes, and he is her true love and her destiny. The second verse mentions that she has always felt that she must be near him since the minute he touched her hand, and nothing can keep him away from her. The last verse repeats that she loves him and will always follow him, and her love for him will last forever.
The song's primary theme is the idea of unconditional love and the willingness of one person to follow their lover to the ends of the earth. The lyrics also suggest that the woman considers her lover her destiny, someone she was meant to be with regardless of any obstacles in their way. It is about the intense emotions of love that can make a person do anything for their loved one.
