First released in 2013
Still Into You was released in 2013 on Paramore’s self-titled album. It presents commitment as an active, continuing excitement, pairing Hayley Williams’s bright vocal delivery with a compact arrangement that moves easily between pop melody and the attack of a rock band.
The rhythm is brisk and sharply defined, with guitar accents and percussion helping the vocal phrases land. Rather than building toward a heavy breakdown, the song repeatedly returns to a buoyant chorus whose melodic shape carries the main emotional lift.
Listen for the change in space between verse and chorus. The verses keep the vocal moving in short phrases, while the refrain opens outward, making the song’s sense of enthusiasm part of its structure as well as its subject.
