Paramore is an American rock band formed in Franklin, Tennessee, in 2004. The group initially saw its inception with a lineup consisting of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Josh Farro, bassist Jeremy Davis, and drummer Zac Farro. Over the years, Paramore's lineup has seen several changes, with Williams remaining as the consistent face and voice of the band. Their music, emblematic of a blend between alternative rock, pop punk, and emo, struck a major chord with the youth of the mid-2000s and beyond. The band's breakthrough came with their second album, "Riot!" in 2007, which was certified Platinum in the United States.

Paramore is noted for their energetic live performances and the dynamic presence of Williams, who has been praised for her vocal prowess and onstage charisma. They have won a Grammy Award for their song "Ain’t It Fun" and have been nominated for several other prestigious awards throughout their career. The band's evolution has seen them transition through various phases and styles, from their punk-infused beginnings to a more mature pop-rock sound. Their later works showcase a growing complexity in songwriting and thematic exploration while maintaining their signature catchy melodies and emotional depth. As of 2023, Paramore continues to be an influential force in rock music, engaging audiences with their new musical releases and thought-provoking collaborations, as evidenced by their most recent singles such as "This Is Why" and its variety of reimagined versions by artists like Foals, Wet Leg, and The Linda Lindas.
