"This is Why" explores frontwoman Hayley Williams' struggles with being in the public eye.

"If you have an opinion / Maybe you should shove it / Or maybe you could scream it / Might be best to keep it / To yourself," she sings.

Paramore released a single and music video for "This is Why" in September.

The song is the title track from Paramore's forthcoming album of the same name. The album also features the songs "The News," "Running Out of Town," "C'est Comme Ca," "Big Man, Little Dignity," "You First," "Figure 8," "Liar," "Crave" and "Thick Skull."
