From its origins in the City of Angels soundtrack to its unexpected rise as a rock ballad staple, we explore the song’s emotional depth and cultural staying power. What makes "Iris" so timeless, and why does it still resonate decades later? Join us as we unravel the story behind one of the most iconic songs of the late '90s.
