Goo Goo Dolls have released countless songs throughout the decades, but their recent release might be the most emotional one as revealed by frontman John Rzenzik.
The rock band dropped the music video for the single "You Are the Answer" which revolves around a woman who's moving forward from an abusive past that she suffered in the hands of her father.
Speaking to People Magazine, the vocalist said the track is about being true to one's self and "trying to have faith in yourself and go where the love is."
Their recent project is personal for the singer because he revealed that he's been trying to do it for a long time now after someone told him to not deal with people that are bad for him, but rather go where the love is.
The music video was created by Keenan O'Reilly, who also wrote the story based on how Goo Goo Dolls wrote the song. Upon presenting his ideas to the band, Rzenzik said he felt "destroyed" inside because it moved him so much.
In addition to releasing a video for fans, the group also highlighted support for victims of domestic violence by mentioning Joe Torre Safe at Home organization at the end of the video.
The organization aims to help children to move forward and heal from the trauma they experienced.
In addition, they also made a big charitable move by selling signed guitars, which proceeds going directly to the organization.

John Rzenzik Witnessed Domestic Violence as a Child
Elsewhere in the interview, Rzenzik noted that he witnessed domestic violence and alcoholism in his household during his early years.
When he found out about the organization, he was "instantly moved" and knew that he had to team up with them.
"You cannot live without hope, and there are so many kids out there who feel scared and alone," he said.
The frontman explained that growing up in a domestic violence environment still left a "shame" in him and he doesn't want to embarrass his family.
However, he noted that the "shame keeps the cycle of violence going" which is the most horrible part for him.
In addition, he's also doing all of this for his little daughter as he wanted her to be strong and independent while growing up.
