Like many artists, Iggy Pop is influenced by the events around him, and during 2020, it's impossible to find someone whose life wasn't changed in some way by the COVID-19 pandemic.
With this, the artist releases the track "Dirty Little Virus," and explains the intention and inspiration behind the song. "I was motivated to write a straightforward composition, nothing too emotional or direct, more like something journalistic."
“Who, what, how, where. I left out the ‘why’ because it gets too complex, but I put it the way I felt about it,” Pop continues in a video accompanying the track. “It was an obstacle for me. It’s a big thing that’s happening in my life, in everyone’s life, I’ve been considering it for almost a year now. If there was a Man of the Year, it would be the virus. So, I wrote this lyric.”
