Paramore is an American rock band formed in Franklin, Tennessee, in 2004. Since 2017, the band's lineup includes lead vocalist Hayley Williams, lead guitarist Taylor York, and drummer Zac Farro. Williams and Farro are founding members of the group, while York, a high school friend of the original lineup, joined in 2007. The band has had multiple lineup changes, with Williams being the only constant member.
The band was signed to Fueled by Ramen, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records (which is owned by Warner Music Group.) Williams was signed to Atlantic separately, as she was scouted when she was a teenager. They were the only label to let her stay in the band instead of going solo, but Atlantic said the rest of the band had to sign to Fueled by Ramen.{{cite web|first=Alex|last=Frank|url=https://www.thefader.com/2017/06/29/paramore-hayley-williams-cover-story-interview|title=Adult Emotions|work=The Fader|date=June 29, 2017|access-date=October 16, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170629191802/https://www.thefader.com/2017/06/29/paramore-hayley-williams-cover-story-interview|archive-date=June 29, 2017|url-status=live}} The group's debut album, All We Know Is Falling (2005), reached number 30 on Billboard{{'}}s Heatseekers Chart in 2006 and number four on the UK Rock Chart in 2009.
The band's second album, Riot! (2007) became a mainstream success thanks to the success of the singles "Misery Business", "Crushcrushcrush", and "That's What You Get". The album was certified Platinum in the US and the band received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards.{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2007/film/awards/50th-annual-grammy-awards-nominations-1117977172/|title=50th annual Grammy Awards nominations|work=Variety|date=December 6, 2007|access-date=September 14, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230423021734/https://variety.com/2007/film/awards/50th-annual-grammy-awards-nominations-1117977172/|archive-date=April 23, 2023|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=https://www.mtv.com/news/y2utwa/grammy-2008-winners-list|title=Grammy 2008 Winners List|work=MTV|date=February 10, 2008|access-date=December 28, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220829140942/https://www.mtv.com/news/y2utwa/grammy-2008-winners-list|archive-date=August 29, 2022|url-status=dead}} Their 2009 follow-up, Brand New Eyes, reached number two on the Billboard 200 and became the band's second-highest-charting album to date.

Following the departure of Zac and Josh Farro in 2010, the band released their self-titled fourth album in 2013.

Williams was originally signed to Atlantic Records as a solo artist in 2003. She had been introduced to Atlantic A&R Tom Storms by Kent Marcus and Jim Zumwalt, lawyers of managers Dave Steunebrink and Richard Williams, and then eventually signed to Atlantic by Jason Flom.{{cite web|url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_JeffHanson_Interview_Part2.html|title=Interview with Jeff Hanson|work=HitQuarters|date=September 20, 2010|access-date=October 7, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101103105151/http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview%2Fopar%2Fintrview_JeffHanson_Interview_Part2.html|archive-date=November 3, 2010|url-status=dead}} Steunebrink and Richard Williams had originally discovered and signed her to a production deal that was later bought out by Atlantic. The original plan of the label was to turn her into a pop singer, but Williams resisted, saying that she wanted to play alternative rock music with a band. In an interview with HitQuarters the band's A&R at Atlantic, Steve Robertson, said, "She wanted to make sure that we didn't look at her as some straight to Top 40 pop princess. She wanted to make sure that she and her band got the chance to show what they can do as a rock band writing their own songs."{{cite web|url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_Steve_Robertson_Interview.html|title=Interview With Steve Robertson|work=HitQuarters|date=November 9, 2009|access-date=May 17, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190416082717/http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview%2Fopar%2Fintrview_Steve_Robertson_Interview.html|archive-date=April 16, 2019|url-status=dead}} Label president Julie Greenwald and the label staff decided to go with her wishes. The original management team for the band was Dave Steunebrink, Creed manager Jeff Hanson, and Hanson's assistant Mark Mercado.
The band was officially formed by Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Zac Farro (drums), Davis (bass guitar) and Williams (lead vocals) in 2004, with the later addition of Williams' neighbor Jason Bynum (rhythm guitar). When Davis showed up, he was stunned to find out the drummer was only fourteen years old. He admitted "I had very, very, very, little faith in everyone in the band because of their age. I remember thinking, 'This is not going to work because this kid is way too young,' but that first day of practice was amazing. I knew we were on to something." According to Williams, the name "Paramore" came from the maiden name of the mother of one of their first bass players. Once the group learned the meaning of the homophone paramour ('secret lover'), they decided to adopt the name, using the Paramore spelling.
Paramore was originally supposed to release their music on Atlantic Records, but the label's marketing department decided it would be better for the image of the band to not have them attached to a major label. Instead, they released their music through the niche label Fueled by Ramen. Lyor Cohen, the head of Warner Music Group, had already identified Fueled by Ramen as a label they should partner with. It was decided the rock label would make an ideal match for Paramore. According to Robertson, when the band was presented to Fueled by Ramen's CEO John Janick, "he got the vision of the band immediately." Janick went to a Taste of Chaos performance in Orlando, Florida, to see the band perform live. In April 2005, after a smaller private performance at a warehouse, the band was signed to Atlantic Records and Fueled By Ramen.{{cite interview|subject=Hayley Williams|subject2= Josh Farro|interviewer=Tony Pascarella|url=http://www.the-trades.com/article.php?id=3440|title=Interview: Hayley Williams and Josh Farro of Paramore|date=August 8, 2005|access-date= August 16, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070213011120/http://www.the-trades.com/article.php?id=3440|archive-date=February 13, 2007|url-status=dead}}
The band's first song written together was "Conspiracy", which was later used on their debut album. At this time, they were touring the Southeast, usually being driven by Williams' parents. She commented that "Back then, I guess we were all thinking, after school, we'll go to the house and practice. It was what we loved to do for fun, and still do! I don't think any of us really knew this would turn out to be what it's become."

Paramore traveled back to Orlando, Florida, but shortly after arriving, Jeremy Davis left the band, citing personal reasons. The remaining four members of Paramore continued with the album, writing "All We Know" about his departure, and later deciding to base All We Know Is Falling around the concept. The album artwork also reflected Paramore's grief, as Hayley Williams explains, "The couch on the cover of All We Know is Falling with no one there and the shadow walking away; it's all about Jeremy leaving us and us feeling like there's an empty space."
Before touring, the band added John Hembree (bass) to their lineup to replace Davis.{{cite interview|subject= Hayley Williams|interviewer=Jason Schleweis of Crush Music Mag|url=http://www.crushmusicmag.com/joomla/interviews/48-paramore-interview-07142005|title=Paramore Interview|date=July 14, 2005|access-date= October 12, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719191710/http://www.crushmusicmag.com/joomla/interviews/48-paramore-interview-07142005|archive-date= July 19, 2011|url-status=usurped}} During that summer, Paramore was featured on the Shiragirl stage of the 2005 Warped Tour.

The video featured the band performing in a warehouse, eventually getting sprayed with water sprinklers as the storyline of a conflicted couple occurs. In July, "Emergency" was released as the second single, the video again reuniting the band with director Shane Drake and featuring Hunter Lamb (rhythm guitar), who replaced Jason Bynum in December 2005. The video for "Emergency" showcased Paramore in another performance, this time fixing the members' bloody costumes. The third single, "All We Know", was released with limited airtime, with the video consisting of a collection of live performances and backstage footage. After the band's later success, All We Know Is Falling and "Pressure" were certified Gold by the RIAA.{{cite web|url=https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&ar=Paramore&ti=&lab=&genre=&format=&date_option=release&from=&to=&award=&type=&category=&adv=SEARCH#search_section|title=Gold & Platinum - RIAA|work=Recording Industry Association of America|access-date=August 5, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160810085802/http://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&ar=Paramore&ti=&lab=&genre=&format=&date_option=release&from=&to=&award=&type=&category=&adv=SEARCH#search_section|archive-date=August 10, 2016|url-status=live}}

In 2007, Lamb left the group to get married, and Paramore continued onward as a quartet.
