Paramore’s Hayley Williams reveals she “had been listening to a lot of Dry Cleaning and Yard Act and artists that talk a lot over great, cool music”, which fused into new single C’est Comme Ça…
Fresh from the release of their third single from upcoming album This Is Why, Hayley Williams has spoken about the creative process behind the “dance punk vibes” of Paramore’s C’est Comme Ça.
Chatting with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, the singer explains: “The last song we wrote was the first song on the album. So I don’t know why it always works out like that with us, but we just have to follow it and let whatever that inspiration lead, and C’est Comme Ça was, I would say, midway to the beginning half, it was definitely before we had hit a stride.
“I was really stoked to get this music because a lot of times with Paramore, unless we’re all in the room at the same time working on stuff together, I feel like a lot of what I do is top lining and I love doing that. It’s so freeing. Especially after doing the solo records where I was just always on top of every single moment.
“It’s just this really great treat and we had a really good time getting back into a little bit of dance punk vibes,” Hayley continues. “I had been listening to a lot of Dry Cleaning and Yard Act and artists that talk a lot over great, cool music. So I guess I was just feeling poetic and feeling a bit critical of myself, and fused all that stuff.”
This Is Why is due out on February 10 via Atlantic. 2023 will see Paramore supporting Taylor Swift, hitting arenas in the U.S. and UK, and much more.
