Paramore are back with “The News,” the latest song from their upcoming album, This Is Why. It’s the second single, following “This Is Why,” and it comes with a new music video directed by Mike Kluge and Matthew DeLisi. Check out “The News” below.
“‘The News’ is one of those songs that came together pretty quickly and felt exciting from the start,” Paramore’s Hayley Williams said in a press release. “It feels like a happy medium between classic Paramore angst and bringing in some influences we’ve always had but never exploited. Watching Zac [Farro] track drums for this one was one of my favorite memories from the studio. Lyrically, it probably explains itself. The 24-hour news cycle is just impossible to comprehend. And I feel a pang of guilt when I unplug to protect my headspace. The common reaction, or non-reaction, seems to be dissociation. Not one of us is innocent of that and who could blame us?”
This Is Why—out February 10—follows 2017’s After Laughter and two solo albums from Williams, 2020’s Petals for Armor and 2021’s Flowers for Vases / Descansos. Paramore are set to go on a big tour behind the album, too.
