Influential rock band Paramore will return in 2023 with the release of This Is Why on Feb. 10 via Atlantic records.
The band also shared the lead single and title track earlier in the week -- the first new music from the band since 2017.
Hayley Williams of the band says:
"This Is Why" was the very last song we wrote for the album. To be honest, I was so tired of writing lyrics but Taylor convinced Zac and I both that we should work on this last idea. What came out of it was the title track for the whole album. It summarizes the plethora of ridiculous emotions, the rollercoaster of being alive in 2022, having survived even just the last 3 or 4 years. You’d think after a global pandemic of fucking biblical proportions and the impending doom of a dying planet, that humans would have found it deep within themselves to be kinder or more empathetic or something.
