Throughout her life, she had to overcome personal challenges.

In April 2014, O'Riordan joined and began recording new material with the trio D.A.R.K. She appeared as a judge on RTÉ's The Voice of Ireland during the 2013–14 season. The band released Roses (2012) and went on a world tour. She reunited with the Cranberries the same year. O'Riordan's first solo album, Are You Listening?, was released in May 2007 and was followed up by No Baggage in August 2009.

Over the years, she contributed to the release of Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? (1993), No Need to Argue (1994), To the Faithful Departed (1996), Bury the Hatchet (1999) and Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (2001) before taking a six-year hiatus starting in 2003. During her lifetime, she released seven studio albums with the Cranberries, including four number-one albums. Recognised for her 'unique' voice, she quickly achieved worldwide fame. She began to perform as a soloist in her church choir before leaving secondary school to join the Cranberries in 1990. O'Riordan was born in County Limerick, Ireland, to a Catholic working-class family.

One of the most recognizable voices in rock in the 1990s, she was known for her lilting mezzo-soprano voice, signature yodel, emphasized use of keening, and strong Limerick accent. She was best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist for the alternative rock band the Cranberries.
