The Paramore drummer revisits his solo debut through in-studio performance films.
About This Track
Hayley Williams, Josh Farro, and Taylor York wrote this sharp critique of stagnation, produced by Rob Cavallo. The song targets people who possess potential but squander it, waiting passively for circumstances to improve rather than taking action. Williams delivers the refrain with cutting certainty: "I've got no time for feeling sorry," a posture of impatience with self-pity and inertia. The track frames its subject as someone trapped in arrested development, still living in the same town, barely getting by whilst others push forward. There's a particular sting to the specificity of age, the reference to twenty-four as a threshold moment, when the choice between effort and drift becomes impossible to ignore. The song refuses sympathy, treating complacency as a choice rather than circumstance, and the repetition of that refusal becomes its own kind of motivation, a demand that the listener either move or accept irrelevance.

Both an evolution and a revolution true to who they are, that constant motion never fails to hit the spot.

Tour One was a hard reset for Paramore. Carried with a sense of learning to walk again and asking questions about where, and if, they still fit into peoples lives against a backdrop of venues normally off-limits to rock bands, it took the discovery and doubt…

The last time Paramore were in the UK, they were headlining Reading & Leeds Festival. At Reading, the power went out halfway through their set. For most bands it would have killed the atmosphere stone dead. For Paramore, they simply sat down together at the…
