What is Paramore's biggest song? ›

“Misery Business”

The song that we all know and love! As the lead single from Riot!, “Misery Business” marked the band's entrance into the mainstream, and it's generally considered the most iconic and enduring Paramore song.

In August 2021, Paramore members Hayley Williams and Josh Farro received writing credits, as the chorus was inspired by Paramore's 2007 song "Misery Business".

Per reddit, Williams once said that she's hesitated to include “All I Wanted” in Paramore's setlists because she feared she wouldn't be able to do the song justice, or even worse, that she'd harm her vocals singing that chorus repeatedly.

“All time favorite,” she wrote of the song, which was — drumroll, please — the Brand New Eyes album closer, “All I Wanted.”

Other emo pop bands that achieved mainstream success throughout the decade included Fall Out Boy, the All-American Rejects, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco and Paramore.

Pop star/actress Olivia Rodrigo has apparently handed over millions of dollars worth of royalties to Paramore's Hayley Williams and Taylor Swift after giving them writing credits on two of her chart topping songs.

Paramore's music style has generally been regarded as pop-punk, emo, pop rock, alternative rock, power pop, emo pop, new wave, punk rock, pop, grunge, electropop, and synth-pop.

Paramore's rainbow-hued pop comes from an impressive lineage of spunky, exuberant rockers. On a sonic level, Paramore's energized spin on emo takes influence from the raucous, wiry punk of The Distillers and New Found Glory, as well as Blondie's retro-kissed New Wave.

The credits for Olivia Rodrigo's "Good 4 U" have officially been updated to include Paramore. Frontwoman Hayley Williams and guitarist Joshua Farro are now credited as songwriters. Rodrigo's No. 1 hit was partially inspired by Paramore's 2007 single "Misery Business."

Paramore opened for Taylor Swift last night at Paris' La Défense Arena and took the opportunity to showcase their cover of Talking Heads' “Burning Down the House” for the first time live.

In September 2022, Williams confirmed she was dating her Paramore bandmate Taylor York. Williams previously publicized her decisions not to smoke, drink alcohol, or use recreational drugs, though she now drinks alcohol.

Rodrigo was forced to pay Paramore frontwoman, Hayley Williams, millions after being sued for songwriting royalties over “good 4 you.” The lawsuit was divisive; for some fans, it was a classic instance of the badgered old artist swooping down to collect on the success of young talent.
