Hayley Williams doesn’t need to sing about drugs

Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has admitted that she does not feel the need to sing about drugs in order to gain fans.

The flame-haired beauty said that unnecessary swearing and references to sex and drugs were not something she kept in mind while writing songs. She would rather sing about problems the average person could relate to.

In a recent interview with NPR, Hayley explained: “I don’t really feel like i need to say anything about sex, drugs and rock ‘n; roll. I don’t need to swear. And I’m not saying that I’m a perfect angel, but i think it would feel very disingenuous - like, ‘This is me trying to be cool. Maybe we’ll grab a couple of older fans if I just put this swear word in’. I want to talk about normal life problems.”

Paramore will be releasing their self-titled latest album tomorrow (April 8).
