Paramore has announced that it will release a new album in early 2023 and gave fans a sneak peek by revealing the song, This Is Why, as a lead single for the album of the same name.

The band’s last album came out five years ago in 2017 with the release of its fifth album, After Laughter. After playing its last live tour in 2018, the band dropped off with the trio of Hayley Williams, Zac Farro and Taylor York deciding to focus on other things.

Early this year, it was reported that the band was working on a sixth studio album which Paramore described as being more “guitar heavy.”

This Is Why also brought with it a press release from the American band as Williams explained her thought process behind the last song of the album saying, “It summarizes the plethora of ridiculous emotions, the rollercoaster of being alive in 2022, having survived even just the last three or four years.”

With that, here are three of the most popular songs from Paramore, according to the band’s Spotify page.
