At the end of 2023, Paramore caused their fans no little concern when they wiped their social media accounts and took their website off-line. This, coupled with the fact that the Tennessee pop-punks have fulfilled their contractual obligations to Atlantic Records and admitted to a "level of uncertainty" surrounding their future, sparked fears that Hayley Williams was ready to call time on the band, having enjoyed some of the biggest successes of their career with their sixth album, This Is Why.
Those concerns were allayed when the group shared a video for their punk-funk cover of Talking Heads anthem Burning Down The House in January. Now the group have shared a video for their This Is Why album track Thick Skull, directed by Turnstile vocalist Brendan Yates, in which a road trip goes badly wrong. And Williams has additionally shared a lengthy reflection on the band's own journey to this point.
