Paramore Is Teasing Something ‘This Is Why’ Related

25 September, 2023

Paramore is up to something, and fans are getting hyped.

The band took to Twitter on Monday (Sept. 25) to share a cryptic video of an iPhone note titled, “Re: This Is Why,” in reference to the band’s reunion album, which was released back in February. The note indicates three dates and reads that something else titled “This Is Why” is arriving on Sept. 28, something titled “Why Is This?” is arriving on Oct. 2 and “Is This Why?” will be arriving on Oct. 6. There is currently no information as to whether the three titles are new songs, B-sides from This Is Why or perhaps a deluxe version of the album, as fans are speculating in the comments.

This Is Why dropped in February, and marked Hayley Williams, Zac Farro and Taylor York’s return from their hiatus and their first album in six years. The last time Paramore released an album as a band was 2017’s After Laughter, which features songs like “Hard Times” and “Rose-Colored Boy.” Since then, Williams dropped her own solo album, Petals for Armor, in 2020 and Farro has unveiled a number of solo works under the moniker Halfnoise.

In January, Paramore appeared on Billboard‘s digital cover, where the trio discussed their return as a band. “At this point, I don’t understand how we’re still doing it,” Williams shared. “Because it just feels like against all odds every single time — which, honestly, I feel like we’re the most annoying band in the world because it’s always like, ‘Oh, we overcame this, and now we’re making this album.’”
