SZA's Modern Twist on the Goo Goo Dolls' 'Iris' Takes TikTok by Storm
The Goo Goo Dolls' iconic song "Iris" has been making a resurgence on social media platforms like TikTok, with various artists and celebrities joining in on the trend. SZA recently participated in the trend by sharing old childhood photos set to her own trap-pop version of the song. The response to her cover has been positive, with fans appreciating her unique take on the classic track.
SZA initially teased her cover on her private Instagram account before sharing a full minute of her rendition on her public Instagram profile. Unlike many other covers of "Iris," SZA's version offers a fresh and modern twist on the '90s hit. Despite not sounding like a typical '90s song, SZA has expressed her admiration for mainstream rock hits from that era.
In the midst of the viral trend surrounding "Iris," the Goo Goo Dolls continue to perform live shows. Their upcoming concert in Lincoln, CA, even offers a special "Iris Front Row VIP Experience" package, which includes a meet-and-greet opportunity and exclusive drinkware items. Fans of the band can still enjoy their music and live performances while also appreciating the song's newfound popularity on social media platforms like TikTok.
