Singer Hayley Williams is best known as the lead singer, primary songwriter, and keyboardist of the band Paramore.
The band released their first album, “All We Know Is Falling,” way back in 2005, and the band has been putting out hits ever since.
Williams was born on December 27, 1988, making her officially 33 years old today! Fans all around the world are celebrating the “Fake Happy” singer’s birthday with all of her best songs throughout the years!
Misery Business
Paramore’s “Misery Business” officially put Paramore on the map when it came out all the way back in May 2007, making the song well over a decade old! The video has 230,763,427 hits since it was first released, and it’s still one of fans’ favorite Paramore songs to date!
“All Paramore songs sound they will never age,” one fan commented. “It's never boring to hear.”
“People saying this wasn't appreciated back in the day... This literally was everything back in the day,” one fan noted. “Hayley Williams was like innovative and their sound was almost hitting a Rock Pop vibe (Back in the day).”
“This masterpiece was released when I was only 7 years old and in my 1st grade,” another shared. “It's been long years ago but this doesn't aged.”
“She is one of the best frontman in rock and roll,” another fan commented. “She's like a Steven Tyler or David Lee Roth. She knows how to go onstage and get the crowd going and she can sing her a-- off and she's beautiful, what more do you ask from your lead singer?”
Ain't It Fun
On December 2, Paramore set out to break the most world records in a single music video. Their attempts were captured in the 2014 music video for “Ain’t It Fun” from their self-titled album.
“I love how sarcastic this song is,” one fan wrote. “Like it’s so uptempo and sounds like a nice happy song about growing up and wanting to be an adult. Until you actually grow up and realize that this song is actually talking about how much reality hits hard and the world is such a hard place to handle and you wish you were a kid again.”
“This song slaps,” another shared. “A timeless classic!”
“Most of us jammed to this as kids and teens,” another fan commented. “Now most of us are adults and it is just slapping us in the face with the lyrics hahahahaha it still ROCKS tho.”
Another wrote, “Don't worry you're not the only one listening this masterpiece in 2021.”
Hard Times
“Hard Times” is one of the hit singles from their last album, “After Laughter,” released in 2017 and emphasizes Paramore’s uncanny ability to put lyrics that hit too hard into a catchy, upbeat song that anyone can sing along to.
“Paramore practically specializes in happy-sounding music with depressing lyrics, and I'm here for it,” one fan wrote.
“Hayley is so charismatic,” another shared. “I love how she's goofing around while singing about depression and struggles.”
“It’s amazing how much this band has transformed over the years yet still manages to make each new album better than the last,” another fan wrote.
