Paramore recently stopped by NPR Music to perform a few tracks off their most recent album, After Laughter, on the Tiny Desk Concert series. The band played stripped-down versions of “Hard Times”, “26” and new single “Fake Happy.”

Before playing “26”, Hayley Williams talked a bit about the song: “It's been really interesting playing the new songs on the record because they are all dance-y and happy, but I think this one is maybe the most transparent,” she said, then quickly added “I hope we don't bum you out too much.”
