Most recently, “Iris” is experiencing a massive boom with the “Mom/Dad, what were you like in the 90s?” trend, which has accumulated over 4 billion views and counting. Sparked by Drew Barrymore’s Instagram post on Feb. 24, this trend has exploded and now features contributions from key celebrities such as Will Smith, Serena Williams, Reese Witherspoon, Sharon Stone, John Stamos, Backstreet Boys, Brooke Shields, Halle Berry, Usher, Jessica Alba, Snoop Dogg, Shaquille O'Neal, Anne Hathaway, Aerosmith, SZA and many more. The four-times-Grammy-nominated track has garnered over 5.6 billion streams to date worldwide, amassing over 1 billion streams in 2025 alone. Originally released in 1998, “Iris” continues to reach new audiences around the world and recently received a new version by SZA in addition to being covered by the likes of Taylor Swift, Machine Gun Kelly, Phoebe Bridgers, Maggie Rogers and sombr – yet again proving the timelessness and staying power of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog. The New York Times, as well as “Today,” ran pieces on the track, as well as the nostalgic nature of the viral trend, which can be found here and here.

Earlier this month, Goo Goo Dolls and two-times-Grammy-nominated electronic music powerhouse Steve Aoki premiered a reimagined version of the beloved track. The reworked version transforms the anthem into a festival-ready experience, pairing the song’s raw intensity with Aoki’s signature high-energy production.
