Paramore is channeling the 80s with their new single, "Hard Times." The song is the first from Paramore's upcoming album, After Laughter. The album will arrive in stores and streaming services on May 12. The band is also planning a European tour in June.

The song carries a sad message about "Hard Times" but it has an upbeat feel and 80s sound. Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams has gone blonde for the music video. Hayley is followed by a little storm cloud and struck by lightning. The video also features fun neon lighting effects.

"Hard Times" is sure to be a summer hit. Take a look:
