The story behind the song

This song, from American rock band Paramore, was originally released in 2009 as the final track on the band's third album, Brand New Eyes. Frontwoman Hayley Williams shared that the song wasn't inspired by actual events, but came about during a period of solitude. While at practice, guitarist Taylor York played a song that resonated with her, prompting her to write the lyrics. "All I Wanted" almost didn't make it onto the album, but the band would have regretted its exclusion.
