Hear Goo Goo Dolls' 'Iris' reimagined as a dance track

Goo Goo Dolls' iconic love ballad has been reimagined by legendary electronic music pioneer Steve Aoki into a high-energy dance track. The collaboration was sparked when Steve invited Goo Goo Dolls singer John Rzeznik to perform the song with him at the Stagecoach festival in 2025.  The crowd loved it, so Steve decided to rework it into something he could play at future festivals and shows.

Since its release in 1998, "Iris" -- originally composed for the Nicolas Cage/Meg Ryan film City of Angels -- has garnered over 5.5 billion streams worldwide. One billion of those streams were racked up in 2025 alone.
