Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" never hit the pinnacle of the Billboard charts, topping out at No. 9 on December 5, 1998. The song’s emotional impact and radio dominance far outweighed its chart position.
However, the band's lead singer and songwriter, John Rzeznik, believes the song's enduring quality comes from it being relatable. He told ABC, "Everyone can relate to that song. I think it hit a nerve culturally."
"Iris" remains popular due to lyrics, consistent radio play, TikTok popularity, and its inclusion in films such as Deadpool & Wolverine. In the summer of 2025, "Iris" became one of the world's most-streamed songs, continuing its popularity 27 years after its April 1998 release.
The band's frontman joked, "You try to find bands that you like. But then there's this whole thing, there's like, 'OK, well there's a whole bunch of bands that won't tour with us, and there's whole bunch of bands that we don't want to tour with.'"
"If somebody wanted us to play 25 shows, I would do it," Rzeznik said. Takac added, "I guess we'll see how this one goes. It'll be a good test."
