Iris was written by Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik and released in 1998 for the soundtrack of the film City of Angels, where it became the band's signature song and one of the defining rock ballads of the late 1990s. Its success on radio and in film helped it endure long after its release, and the opening in particular became widely recognised online. Short clips are now reused in edits and montages, where the song's association with longing and devotion gives even brief moments a familiar emotional weight.

The opening excerpt of Iris by Goo Goo Dolls, the 1998 rock ballad from City of Angels, used in emotional edits, nostalgic montages and heartfelt video moments.
This short clip captures the instantly recognisable opening of Iris, with its gentle guitar figure and John Rzeznik's earnest, slightly strained vocal building into a swelling, bittersweet chorus feel. The sound is warm, melodic and unhurried, carrying a sense of longing and quiet hope rather than loud drama. Hearing it tends to pull viewers straight into a reflective mood, making a simple photo slideshow or slow-motion clip feel far more personal and cinematic, which is why it lands so well in emotional moments.
