Ain't It Fun by Paramore Song Info
"Ain't It Fun" is a song by American rock band Paramore, released as the fourth and final single from their self-titled fourth studio album Paramore. Produced by musician Justin Meldal-Johnsen, the song was recorded in Los Angeles. Development for it began with a keyboard loop recorded by its guitarist, Taylor York. Instruments including xylophone and bass guitar were later brought, along with a six-member gospel choir. York and the band's vocalist, Hayley Williams, wrote the song based on her experience of relocating and the latter's subsequent attitude. The song received critical acclaim from music critics, who hailed its musical diversity. It was serviced to mainstream radio in the United States and Italy; a 12-inch vinyl of the single was released for Record Store Day 2014. The song became Paramore's highest-peaking single on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 10 and received 'double platinum' certification from the RIAA having sold over two million singles. Internationally, the song garnered moderate commercial outcomes, reaching the top 40 of Australian, Canadian, and Venezuelan charts. On February 8, 2015, the song won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song at the 57th ceremony, becoming Paramore's first Grammy win, and making Williams the first woman to score that honor since Alanis Morissette in 1999.
