"Now" was the opening shot from Paramore's self-titled fourth album, released on Fueled by Ramen in January 2013 and on radio a week later, and it carried some weight: it led off the first Paramore album made without Josh and Zac Farro, who had left in 2010. Hayley Williams wrote it with Taylor York, who co-produced it with Justin Meldal-Johnsen, while Ken Andrews mixed it and chipped in extra keyboards and backing vocals.
Critics went for it, singling out the production, the lyrics and Williams' delivery, and it cracked the top 20 on Billboard's Hot Rock Songs and Alternative Songs charts. It also became a playable track in the video game Rocksmith 2014.
