What it is

"This Is Why" is the title track and lead single of Paramore's sixth album, released in September 2022. Hayley Williams said it sums up the mix of emotions of living through recent years, linking it to the COVID-19 pandemic and a world in crisis, and said she had hoped people would come out of that period kinder and more empathetic.
