"Rose-Colored Boy " is a song by American rock band Paramore . It was released on March 2, 2018, through Fueled by Ramen as the fourth single off their fifth studio album, After Laughter (2017).
Composition [ edit ]
"Rose-Colored Boy" has been described as new wave by Rockfreaks.net,[1] pop rock by Stereogum [2] and synth-pop by Rolling Stone .[3] The song also has an 80s vibe like other tracks in the album.
Release and live performances [ edit ]
The band performed the song at Good Morning America on August 25, 2017, along with four other tracks from After Laughter .[4] The band released a radio edit of the song on March 2, 2018, titled "Mix 2", with small changes.[5] "Rose-Colored Boy" impacted American contemporary hit radio on March 27, 2018.[6]
Williams often interpolates the lyrics of Tom Tom Club 's Genius of Love into the chorus.
Music video [ edit ]
A music video for the song was released on February 5, 2018.[7] It was directed by Warren Fu and produced by Jona Ward.[8] The video surrounds a fictional 80s talk show called Wake Up! Roseville , with the band members hosting.[9] As hosts, the band members are under constant stress from executives, who scold the band (particularly vocalist Hayley Williams ) for not creating a more positive environment, matching the lyrics "I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to".[10] Williams at one point, frustrated, yells "F*ck it! We'll do it live," parodying an outtake from political commentator Bill O'Reilly on Inside Edition . The video ends with the band shown playing the song and causing chaos on set, before resuming the show the very next day, ending with Williams' smile fading.[11]
As of April 2024, the song has over 19 million views on YouTube .
