Background
"The News" was released on December 8, 2022.[1][2][3] According to Williams, "'The News' is one of those songs that came together pretty quickly and felt exciting from the start. It feels like a happy medium between classic Paramore angst and bringing in some influences we've always had but never exploited...watching Zac track drums for this one was one of my favorite memories from the studio."[3]
The song was later remixed by the Linda Lindas as a part of Paramore's remix album, Re: This Is Why.[4]
