Over the past week, Paramore fans have been taking to Twitter to share which five songs from the band are their favorite. From unreleased tracks to covers and live performances, Paramore fans have been proclaiming their love for songs that span the band’s entire career.
Now, Williams is getting in on the action. Over the weekend, she finally revealed to fans which five Paramore songs are her favorite. For the most part, their 2017 album After Laughter reigns supreme.
At the top of her list is “Told You So,” one of the singles off of After Laughter. “Hard Times,” “Pool,” and “Rose-Colored Boy” are ranked next, followed by “I Caught Myself,” which is featured on the soundtrack for the first Twilight movie. The band recently reintroduced “I Caught Myself” back into their live performances during their After Laughter tour run.
Williams also revealed that “Tell Me How,” the final track on After Laughter, is also one of her favorites. However, the emotional song is something she still can’t listen to. Paramore have only performed the song live once since its release in 2017. “Hate To See Your Heart Break,” from their 2013 self-titled album, also made the honorable mentions list.
1. Told You So
2. Hard Times
3. Pool
4. Rose-Colored Boy
5. Caught Myself (live)honorable mentions:
– Tell Me How, tho i cant listen to it
