Paramore_ Now.MP4

"Now" is a song by American rock band Paramore. It was released on January 22, 2013 as the first single from their self-titled fourth album, Paramore.

The music video for the song premiered on February 11, 2013 on MTV, and was uploaded to the Fueled by Ramen Youtube channel the next day. The video starts off in the middle of a field with Hayley Williams and a soldier. The field is bare besides for a tree in the background between Williams and the soldier. There is also a slight fog. Williams and the soldier lock eyes, then the man throws a hand grenade. The song opens as Williams closes her eyes, just before the grenade explodes. She falls, and a sequence of action ensues, with men who appear to be with Hayley (including Jeremy and Taylor) fighting men on the soldier's side. As Hayley walks over to the soldier, Jeremy and Taylor continuously tackle anyone trying to reach Hayley, while showing shots of people who get hit have bursts of colored dust, who eventually stands face-to-face with the soldier. She gets hit with a baton as the song enters the bridge, causing blue dust to fly everywhere. She looks around and sees Jeremy and Taylor pinned down and charges the soldier, but is seized by his men. The soldier pulls out a baton and prepares to strike her, but she breaks free and hugs the soldier. His motions freeze, he drops his baton and he hugs her back, leaving everyone on the battlefield cheering. The video closes with a shot of the soldier and Hayley together, still hugging.
