Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Paramore

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

About this song: This song was more radio ready while the first single since their debut in the middle of the 2000s failed to reach the Top 20 in Billboard's Pop Chart until 2014's "Ain't It Fun" reaching #10 on that chart. Hayley's cuties vocal, less guitar distortion, and more pop rock and indie rock production became why I love this song. "Still Into You" was released as a single in 2013 and reaching #24 on Billboard's Pop Chart (matching similar success to the soft rock hit "The Only Exception" from 2009's "Brand New Eyes"). - Submitted by: Wisnu Aji
