UNPerformed by the Goo Goo Dolls, Iris was released in 1998 as part of the City of Angels soundtrack and later appeared on Dizzy Up the Girl, becoming one of the defining songs of 90s rock.
Built around a distinctive open-tuned guitar riff, the music blends alternative rock with elements of pop music, creating a sound that is both intimate and powerful.
Lines about not wanting the world to see the singer reflect a desire to strip away appearances, ego, and expectations, choosing emotional truth over social acceptance. The lyrics are meant sincerely, capturing the feeling of loving someone so completely that pain, rejection, and sacrifice feel worthwhile. The live version of song in pouring rain has since become symbolic of the song's passion, helping cement "Iris" as a timeless classic that continues to connect rock and pop audiences long after the 90s era ended
