Taylor and his family are also close with Joy and he is actually the one who brought up having her on the song. I always wanted to be able to sing like her and being able to duet with her actually felt like an amazing tribute to the inspiration sheвЂ™s given me. Joy has been an incredible example of strength, perseverance, faith, and grace throughout all the years that IвЂ™ve known her. She was on her own musical journey and I was chomping at the bit to start my ownвЂ¦ (little did I know I would meet the guys like 6 months later). I met her, by fate, about a month into moving to Franklin, TN. Joy has been a friend and a mentor of mine since I was just 12 years old. We recorded our vocals (to the original track) in Santa Monica, CA about a week after the Monumentour ended. Lastly, thereвЂ™s the duet I did with Joy Williams (formerly of The Civil Wars) on вЂњHate To See Your Heart BreakвЂќ. Maybe IвЂ™m giving too much away here butвЂ¦ it IS okay to be happy NOW. I later added some harmonies, Taylor threw an extra guitar bit here and there, and thatвЂ™s pretty much it! The lyrics were always important to me and very true to that particular time in our bandвЂ™s life. We never even finished recording it! This is the scratch demo that we recorded all in one take while Ilan was tracking drums at Sunset Sound. For whatever reason, at the time, it just didnвЂ™t fit the album. IвЂ™m so happy we finally found a home for it.

The re-release also has ALL 3 B-sides! Maybe youвЂ™ve already heard вЂњEscape RouteвЂќ and вЂњNative TongueвЂќ but there is noooo way youвЂ™ve ever had the pleasure of вЂњTell Me ItвЂ™s OkayвЂќ. These recordings are un-touched and though theyвЂ™re not perfect, we are psyched that we caught it on a recording because it was so special for us. The songs we chose to include from that show are mostly ones that werenвЂ™t on The Final Riot (save for вЂњLTFBвЂќ, which we just HAD to have since we played that and вЂњPart llвЂќ back to back!). We just loved the show so much and felt it embodied the rawness and the fun that we had with you over the summer. We didnвЂ™t originally intend to ever do anything with the recordings. The re-release includes tracks from our favorite show on Monumentour, which took place at Red Rocks in Colorado. 'You already know about this but, to bid 2014 goodbye, weвЂ™re leaving you with a re-release of our Self-Titled album. The deluxe edition of ParamoreвЂ™s self-titled album was released digitally earlier this week, and on it features a demo of a previously unheard song called 'Tell Me It's Okay'.ДЄbout the re-release of the album, the bandвЂ™s Hayley Williams has said:
