In March 2016, Paramore was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for sales exceeding 1,000,000 units. It also became their second chart topper in the United Kingdom. The album also topped the charts in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Ireland, and New Zealand, where it became their first album to reach the peak. Paramore was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 106,000 copies. Several publications included the album in their year-end lists, including The A.V. Paramore received acclaim from music critics, who praised the band's maturity and experimentation in terms of musicianship as well as Williams' vocals and overall presence on the album.

In contrast to band's previous work, the production of Paramore contains the band's experimentation with new musical genres, such as new wave and funk rock, and features three acoustic interludes. The album was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen, with lead guitarist Taylor York co-producing on four tracks. It is the first album without guitarist Josh Farro, the only album without drummer Zac Farro and the final album with bassist Jeremy Davis before his departure in 2015. Recorded between April and November 2012, the album was described by the band as being a 'statement' and a reintroduction of the band to the world and to themselves. It was released on April 5, 2013, through Fueled by Ramen as a follow-up to Brand New Eyes (2009). Paramore is the eponymous fourth studio album by American rock band Paramore.
