The respective teams of Rodrigo and Paramore had been in touch about the song prior to its May release, sources say. The pop-punk-tinged “Good 4 U” became Rodrigo’s second Hot 100 chart-topper upon its release, following “Drivers License,” and comes in at No. 3 on this week’s chart.
In July, Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff and St. Vincent were retroactively added as co-writers on “Deja Vu,” another top 10 hit from Rodrigo’s debut album Sour, to acknowledge an interpolation of Swift’s 2019 song “Cruel Summer.” Swift and Antonoff were previously credited as co-writers on Rodrigo’s “1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back,” which interpolates Swift’s “New Year’s Day.”
“Misery Business,” released on Paramore’s breakthrough 2007 album Riot!, peaked at No. 26 on the Hot 100. With the newly added writing credits, Williams and Farro have earned their first Hot 100 chart-toppers as songwriters.
