The story behind the song

Paramore is an American rock band that formed in 2004, with lead vocalist Hayley Williams and drummer Zac Farro as founding members. They signed with Fueled by Ramen, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records, which allowed Williams to stay with the band instead of pursuing a solo career. Their debut album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005, and their second album, Riot!, achieved mainstream success with several hit singles.
