"Misery Business"

[needyslovelanguage]

I like good 4 u but the production on Misery Business hits way harder and Hayley's voice suits this type of song more.

[Lost In Musical Reverie]

Production-wise, yes, "Misery Business" is much stronger, not to mention Hayley has a perfect voice for the genre. The melodies are iconic for a reason.

However, since I strongly value lyrics as well, "good 4 u" ultimately takes it for me, since its songwriting is much sharper and paints a vivid picture of Olivia's relatable anger and frustration, enhanced by her emotionally-driven performance. "Misery Business", on the other hand, does come across as unnecessarily petty and mean-spirited, and while it works for what it's set out to do, some aspects really feel like a product of their time, so it doesn't have that timeless quality to it unlike "good 4 u".

Love both but the original is better.

good 4 u is good but this is so disrespectful

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

I think it's kinda unfair to compare a 2000s song to a 3-week song...but IMO, g4u easily. Not a big fan of Paramore (and that genre), and "Misery Business" is too intense(?) for my taste.

Lmao Misery Business blows G4U out of existence and that's a fact
