SZA has shared a cover of the Goo Goo Dolls' 1998 hit 'Iris' via Instagram. She paired the recording with a 'deep fried' edit based on a TikTok trend featuring 1990s throwback photos. 'I couldn’t stop singing it,' she said.
SZA recently posted her version of the Goo Goo Dolls' enduring track 'Iris' on Instagram. The cover accompanies a 'deep fried' visual effect, drawing from a popular TikTok trend where users post personal photos from the 1990s. SZA commented, “I couldn’t stop singing it,” explaining her impulse to record the song originally released in 1998. Pitchfork noted the share in an article published on March 22, 2026, inviting listeners to hear it below the post, though the audio is hosted on Instagram. This release comes amid a strong year for SZA. In 2026, she won a Grammy for Record of the Year with her collaboration 'Luther' alongside Kendrick Lamar. Just last month before the cover's release, she contributed the original song 'Save the Day' to the soundtrack of Pixar's 'Hoppers.' SZA's latest album projects include 'SOS' from 2023, expanded in 2025 with 'SOS Deluxe: Lana,' adding four tracks: an updated 'Joni' featuring Don Toliver, 'Take You Down,' 'PSA,' and 'Open Arms (Just SZA).' The Pitchfork piece also references their past Sunday Review of 'Iris.'
