Paramore have shared a snippet of a forthcoming song called ‘ C’est Comme Ça’ – check out the posts below.
The Hayley Williams-fronted trio are due to release their sixth studio album This Is Why on February 10 via Atlantic (pre-order here). Following on from 2017’s After Laughter, the record has already been previewed by its title track and the single ‘The News’.
Recently, Paramore took to Instagram Stories to share a brief clip of another new tune. The five-second video was soundtracked by a loop of an electric guitar part and a reversed drum beat. A caption reading “CCC”, meanwhile, appeared on a distorted visual.
A listing on Paramore’s official website also states that “CCC” will be arriving this Thursday (January 12). It can be assumed that ‘C’est Comme Ça’ will be the song in question, per the official This Is Why tracklist.
Additionally, some fans have found confirmation that the single will premiere as the Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1. See the tweets below.

Upon releasing ‘The News’ and its accompanying video last month, Hayley Williams explained: “[It’s] one of those songs that came together pretty quickly and felt exciting from the start.
“It feels like a happy medium between classic Paramore angst and bringing in some influences we’ve always had but never exploited. Watching Zac [Farro] track drums for this one was one of my favourite memories from the studio.”
