"Decode" was released on Octoon the Paramore Fan Club site as well as Stephenie Meyer's website.
The band began shooting the video October 13 and singer Hayley Williams posted photos on the band's website of them on the set. Another song called "I Caught Myself" is also featured on the film's soundtrack. Paramore's new song "Decode" is the lead single for the novel-based Twilight film. The band's first song written together was "Conspiracy", which was later used on their debut album. They took the name Paramore, which is derived from the maiden name of the mother of one of the group's former bassists during the time in which they were "still playing in the garage" once the group learned the meaning of the homonym paramour ("secret lover"), they decided to adopt the name, using the Paramore spelling. The band was officially formed by Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Zac Farro (drums), Jeremy Davis (bass) and Hayley Williams (lead vocals) in 2004, with the later addition of Williams' neighbor Jason Bynum (Rhythm Guitar). The other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been "edgy about the whole female thing" of having Williams as vocalist/tambourine/accordian, but, because they were really good friends, she started writing for them and it eventually worked out. Prior to forming Paramore, however, Williams and bassist Jeremy Davis took part in a funk cover band called the Factory, while the Farro brothers had practiced together after school. Shortly after arriving, she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning. In 2003, at the age of 14, vocalist Hayley Nichole Williams (born December 27, 1988) moved from her hometown Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi to Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee USA where she met brothers Josh and Zac Farro while attending private school. The group released their debut album All We Know Is Falling in 2005, and their second album Riot! in 2007, which was certified platinum in the US and gold in the UK and Ireland. Paramore (often stylized as paramore) is a Grammy-nominated American rock band that formed in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004 consisting of Hayley Williams (lead vocals/keyboard), Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Jeremy Davis (bass guitar), and Zac Farro (drums).

In the end, the album is a roller coaster of human emotion, beautifully paired with uplifting music and just the right amount of editing. As I said, it took me a while to get into it, but I am so glad that I did. However, for some people, the poppy change was too much to get passed. If you can dig pop, or something that makes you happy rather than angry, than this album will meld quickly into your playlist. It came out at a time where pop punk was still pop punk, and this new wave change was unheard of and just beginning to bloom. Personally, it took me a few listens to fall in love with this album. The band managed to pile the same punky attitude and empowering tone into a poppy sound in a way that not every band could take as a claim to fame. The lyrics, however, are from from the typical top 40's. Almost mimicking the behavior of the band, Fall Out Boy, Paramore had also grown to accustom a much more modern, poppy sound. This song was number one on airwaves and ITunes and everywhere in between, right along side the album's other hit single "Still Into You". Paramore won their first Grammy for the song "Ain't It Fun" off of the record released back in 2013. Ten years of the band being together, and four albums later, Paramore (the album) earned the band the credit it had always deserved. Paramore's self titled album serves as a celebration.
