At first glance, the song comes off as a typical teenage girl singing about what she wants; but when actually focusing it can be seen that Williams is actually empowering the sadness in the situation. instead of self-pitying. The origin of the song is ambiguous with Williams giving conflicting explanations. The Fueled by Ramen website reports that Williams wrote the song based on feedback the band received after a question she posted on the band's LiveJournal asking what people were ashamed of.〔 However, on the band's blog, Williams claims the song was written about a past experience involving a male friend whom she felt was being manipulated by a girl, and later on when Williams and her friend began to date, she penned the lyrics to "finally explain my side of the story and feel freed of it all".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=redemption. it's a long story. )〕 Later, Williams addressed the lyrics in the chorus: Williams joked on Twitter on May 27, 2013, that it was about London's Heathrow Airport.〔 Hayley from Paramore @yelyahwilliams Misery Business was written about the London Heathrow airport〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Misery Business」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
