Paramore begins new era with 'This is Why' after 5-year hiatus

Paramore is back with a new era!

The trio of Hayley Williams, Taylor York, and Zac Farro dropped their song “This is Why,” their first release in five years after the album “After Laughter.”

The rock band opened this new chapter with an accompanying music video. With soft yet intriguing visuals, Paramore acted like they are being filmed for a movie that is set in a scenic lake, a small house, and outside with views of mountains in the background.

Presenting their growth as a band, it almost feels like “This is Why” is a mix of all of Paramore’s eras — from the angst of “Riot!” to the funk of “After Laughter” and their self-titled album.

Of course, Paramore did not leave out their realistic and poetic lyrics set to upbeat melodies.

According to the music video’s description, Paramore will be releasing “This is Why” the album on February 10, 2023. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA News
