The world definitely <\/span>has<\/span><\/em> seen the signature song by Goo Goo Dolls<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 and listened to it, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

“<\/span>Iris<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,” the\u00a0Goo Goo Dolls<\/strong>\u00a0hit that never mentions the title in the lyrics, has been RIAA-certified Diamond for sales of more than 10 million units.

“Iris” was first released in 1998 on the soundtrack of the film <\/span>City of Angels<\/span><\/em>\u00a0and appeared on what became the band’s bestselling album, <\/span>Dizzy Up the Girl,<\/span><\/em> released later that year.<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll\u00a0likely hear “Iris” if you go see Goo Goo Dolls on their just-announced 2025 Summer Anthem tour with\u00a0Dashboard Confessional<\/strong>, which starts July 13 in Phoenix, Arizona, and is set to wrap up Sept. 12 in Missouri.<\/span><\/p>\n
