Lagu tersebut diciptakan Hayley Williams ketika ia masih berusia 17 tahun. Lagu tersebut pada intinya berkisah tentang keberhasilan seorang gadis 'mencuri' pacar orang lain. Tunangan Chad Gilbert 'New Found Glory' itu pun dianggap bukan seorang feminis yang baik.

"Misery Business bukan serangkaian lirik yang relevan dengan aku yang berusia 26 tahun. Kata-kata tersebut aku tulis saat berumur 17 tahun. Dengan cara pandang yang dangkal," ungkap Hayley Williams di blognya yelyahwilliams.tumblr.com baru-baru ini.

Hayley Williams kecewa karena kalah melawan penyakitnya dan telah membuat seluruh penggemar Paramore di Texas kecewa.

"Kesimpulannya, saya adalah seseorang yang berusia 26 tahun. Dan seorang feminis. Yang mungkin tidak sempurna," pungkasnya.

Hayley Williams bersama bandnya Paramore meraih kesuksesan komersialnya pada 2007 lalu dengan album keduanya Riot! dimana lagu Misery Business termasuk di dalamnya.
