"Ignorance" kicked the door open for Brand New Eyes, Paramore's third album, landing as its lead single on July 7, 2009, and it was the first thing Hayley Williams and Josh Farro wrote for the record. They drew it from their own lives, and it plays like it: a tightly wound, cathartic blast with Williams at full voice over the churn of Farro and Taylor York's guitars, Jeremy Davis on bass and Zac Farro hammering the drums. Rob Cavallo produced it with the band at Lightning Sound in California early that year, and Chris Lord-Alge gave it its glossy punch in the mix.

Critics liked the energy, and it went gold in both America and Britain. The video kept things spare: the band playing in a room lit by a single hanging bulb.
