Background

On January 14, Paramore posted a rough demo of the song "In the Mourning" on YouTube. The finished song in its entirety was played for the first time live on their South American Tour in early 2011. [5] On September 7, Paramore performed at the fifteenth anniversary of their record label, Fueled by Ramen. New songs, "Renegade" and "In the Mourning" with an extract of a paragraph of "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac was played. [6] "Renegade" was the first song released off the Singles Club, available exclusively from the Paramore website. "Renegade" was featured as a short introduction tune on the web-series, "From the Field" – a mock-umentary of the band's daily lives on the Summer Warped Tour. [7]

On October 11, Paramore announced they would be releasing new songs only available directly from their official website. "Renegade" was released on October 11, "Hello Cold World" on November 7 and "In the Mourning" on December 5. [3]

"For months now, we've promised that we'd be releasing some new songs before the end of the year. Well, here is where we finally make good on all of that. We are very happy to announce the Paramore Singles Club that will be happening throughout the rest of the year. This club is our way of getting these songs directly to the Paramore family[...]."

On November 11, some of the first images of the Singles Club Box Set were posted online. [8]
