Paramore’s “Misery Business” is one of the band’s biggest and best known singles, but the group has decided to retire it from their live sets. While performing in Nashville, they took the opportunity to play it one final time and explain why they were moving on from it.

“This is a choice that we’ve made because we feel that we should, we feel like it’s time to move away from it for a little while,” singer Hayley Williams said before leading the crowd in an imaginary toast. “This is to every bad decision that led us here, this is to all the embarrassing things we might have said, but we owned up to it and we grew.”

The controversy surrounding “Misery Business” stems from the lyrics of the song’s second verse, where Williams sings:

Second chances, they don’t ever matter, people never change

Once a whore you’re nothing more

I’m sorry, that’ll never change

And about forgiveness, we’re both supposed to have exchanged

The lyrics have been criticized by some as “anti-feminist.” In the Nashville performance, Williams didn’t sing the second line, something she has done at previous shows as well.

Williams has spoken and written at length about the song’s lyrics, including a Tumblr post from May 2015 where she revealed how the track she wrote as a teenager made her feel now as an adult.

‘Misery Business’ is not a set of lyrics that I relate to as a 26-year-old woman. I haven’t related to it in a very long time. those words were written when I was 17… admittedly, from a very narrow-minded perspective. It wasn’t really meant to be this big philosophical statement about anything. it was quite literally a page in my diary about a singular moment I experienced as a high schooler.

In an interview with Track 7, Williams spoke about learning from those lyrics as time went on.

“For whatever reason, I believe I was supposed to have written those backwards words and I was supposed to learn something from them… years later,” she said. “It’s made me more compassionate toward other women, who maybe have social anxieties… and toward younger girls who are at this very moment learning to cope and to relate and to connect. We’re all just trying our damnedest.”

Paramore released its fifth studio album, After Laughter in May 2017. The band also recently recorded a cover of Drake’s “Passionfruit.”
