Hayley Williams Says Making 'This Is Why' Album Was Not a Comfortable Experience for Paramore Due to THIS

Fans were ecstatic when Paramore released their album "This Is Why" as it was their first record ever after their years-long hiatus. However, frontwoman Hayley Williams recently revealed in an interview that the era was not a comfortable experience for her and her bandmates; what happened?

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the musician said, "Making This Is Why was not a comfortable experience for any of us."

One of the main reasons was that releasing a new album was not easy as it was dropped during the pandemic. There was also an uncertainty that has been with the band over the past two decades of their careers.

"We grew up knowing all the worst parts of each other, and we still love each other," she said.

Hayley Williams Says There Was 'Anxiety' Surrounding the Album's Creation

Elsewhere in the interview, Williams noted that there was anxiety about getting back in the groove of her bandmates getting together after they spent a long time away from each other.

Although they hung out a lot after their hiatus, it took them a long time to create something again.

"I felt a lot of anxiety about being around people again, that weren't just in my bubble. And knowing that on the other side of finishing the record I was going to enter the world again was really scary," she added.

Later in the conversation, the frontwoman opened up about her feelings about canceling the remaining shows for Paramore as she developed a lung infection.

She noted that the experience was "devastating" for her and she felt "horrible" when she walked out during the introduction.

The musicians that appeared in the record were Zane Lowe, Wet Leg, Panda Bear, The Linda Lindas, Bartees Strange, Romy, Claud, Julien Baker, and many more.

Featuring 12 new albums, the record also has the demo version of "Sanity."
