It was the group's first charting single in the UK with more than 20,000 copies created within less than a year of the song's debut. It also succeeded in many countries including Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil. On June 2, 2022, the song was certified six times platinum in the United States by the RIAA, the first of the band's songs to have sold six million units.[12] Concept edit The phrase "Misery Business" was first heard in the psycho-thriller film Misery (1990). The origin of the song is ambiguous with Williams giving conflicting explanations. The Fueled by Ramen website reports that Williams wrote the song based on feedback the band received after a question she posted on the band's LiveJournal asking what people were ashamed of.[13] However, on the band's blog, Williams claims the song was written about a past experience involving a male friend who she felt was being manipulated by a girl, and later on when Williams and her friend began to date, she penned the lyrics to "finally explain my side of the story and feel freed of it all".[14] Later, Williams addressed the lyrics in the chorus: But God does it feel so good 'Cause I got him where I want him now And if you could then you know you would 'Cause God it just feels so It just feels so good Williams joked on Twitter on May 27, 2013, that it was about London's Heathrow Airport.[15] In May 2020, she finally revealed that it was about bandmate Josh Farro. She told Vulture, "When I was 13 or 14 and I had a crush on Josh, he didn't like me back. He would go hang out with his girlfriend, who I wrote 'Misery Business' about because I was a dick."[16] Composition edit Sheet music for the song shows common time with a moderate tempo of 86 beats per minute, in the key of F minor. Hayley Williams' vocal range spans two octaves from F3 to E♭5. Controversy edit On September 7, 2018, Williams announced during a concert that the band will play the song "for the last time for a really long time", due to the lyric "Once a whore you’re nothing more, I’m sorry, that’ll never change", from the second verse that was deemed sexist and anti-feminist.[17] Williams did not sing the song again until the 2022 Coachella Festival, when she performed an acoustic version with Billie Eilish.[18] The song returned to Paramore's setlist during the band's Fall 2022 Tour.[19] Williams no longer sings the line where she refers to the girl as a "whore" in the second verse of this song because of both the controversy it had produced and Williams since evolving in her views. Speaking on the controversial line, she said,[20] What I couldn't have known at the time was that I was feeding into a lie that I'd bought into, just like so many other teenagers—and many adults—before me. Chart performance Critical reception Music video edit The music video was filmed on December 21, 2006 at Reseda High School in Reseda, California. Directed by Shane Drake, who also directed Paramore's videos for "Pressure" and "Emergency", it features a band performance at a school. The video starts out and has cut scenes of Paramore performing the song with an assortment of "RIOT!"s (a reference to the album's name) in the background all throughout the video. At the same time, a girl (Amy Paffrath),[26][27] presumably the "whore" as subject in the song, ensues terror onto students at a high school.
