Moreland, Quinn (September 16, 2022). "Paramore Announce "This Is Why," First New Song in 5 Years". Pitchfork . Retrieved September 28, 2022. In May 2017, Paramore released their fifth studio album After Laughter to critical acclaim. [5] The album saw the return of former drummer Zac Farro, who had left the band in 2010. [6] The band toured in support of the album from June 2017 until September 2018. Following the conclusion of the After Laughter Tour, the members of Paramore took a break from writing and recording music for the band and worked on other endeavors. Hayley Williams featured on the American Football song " Uncomfortably Numb" in 2019 [7] and released two solo albums, Petals for Armor (2020) [8] and Flowers for Vases / Descansos (2021); [9] the former produced by Paramore guitarist Taylor York. [10] She also pivoted her attention more towards her hair dye company Good Dye Young and hosted the weekly BBC Sounds series Everything Is Emo. [11] Farro continued his ongoing project HalfNoise, releasing an extended play – Flowerss (2018) – and two albums – Natural Disguise (2019) and Motif (2021). [12] Farro also recorded drums for the songs "Watch Me While I Bloom" and "Crystal Clear" from Williams' Petals for Armor [13] and released an EP under his own name titled Zafari (2020). [14] Discussions about a sixth Paramore album began in 2020 while Williams was promoting Petals for Armor. Williams hinted that the band's next album would be more guitar-driven, stating, "We've found ourselves listening to a lot of older music that we grew up being inspired by." [15] She further commented on the sound of the album in 2022, likening it to Bloc Party: “From day one, Bloc Party was the number one reference because there was such an urgency to their sound that was different to the fast punk or the pop-punk or the like, loud wall of sound emo bands that were happening in the early 2000s.” [16] In January 2022, the band confirmed they had entered the studio to work on their sixth album.
