It was released by Fueled by Ramen in February 2010 as the third single from the band's third studio album, ''Brand New Eyes'' (2009). The song was written by band members Hayley Williams and Josh Farro; Paramore is also credited as being co-producers to the song. The song was generally well received by music critics; praise of the song was mainly about Williams' vocal performance. Music critics reviewing the song noted that "The Only Exception" was a different musical theme for the band. "The Only Exception" has been the most successful single from ''Brand New Eyes,'' having topped the United Kingdom Rock Chart and peaked at No. 13 and No. 17 in New Zealand and Australia respectively. The single has become the band's third of five top forty hits to date on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. A music video for the song, directed by Brandon Chesbro, was released on February 17, 2010, via the band's official website. The song received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. It was the band's most successful single to date until the release of "Ain't It Fun" (2014). == Background == "The Only Exception" was released as the third single from the band's 2009 studio album ''Brand New Eyes'' in February 2010. It was noticed by music critics that, Paramore, who usually write and record darker material, mainly of the alternative genre, had, musically, gone in a different direction with "The Only Exception".〔〔 ''Rolling Stone'' described the song as "a subtle, Radiohead-esque ballad." The song's lyrics pertain to the protagonist not believing that love exists and trying to live without it, mainly to avoid rejection, but eventually realizing that it does exist, describing the person as being their "only exception". Many fans believe that the song was written as an ode to Chad Gilbert from New Found Glory.〔 Incidentally, Williams has declined to comment directly on the issue, merely saying, "Read a couple blogs, and you'll figure it out."〔 Other themes include trying to pursue a relationship, as well as trying to make a relationship last, which can be seen in the lyrics, "I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up/Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream". According to the sheet music published on Musicnotes.com by Alfred Music Publishing, the single is written in the time signature of 12/8. The song is played in the key of B Mixolydian and is sung in the vocal range of F#3 to D#5.〔 "The Only Exception" has a moderately slow tempo of forty eight beats per minute.〔 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「The Only Exception」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
