'This Is Why' it was a tough road to Paramore's new album

Transcript¹

Williams co-founded her band, Paramore, nearly two decades ago. Now 34, she's become a towering pop-punk-cultural figure both within the group and in her own right through solo albums, collaborations and the charismatic, ever-present heart on her sleeve.

Today, Paramore releases its sixth album, This Is Why. Williams joined Morning Edition to talk about its fraught² backstory, including her struggles with mental health and the male gaze, and the complicated return of the song "Misery³ Business" to Paramore's live shows.
