"Hard Times" is a song by American rock band Paramore from their upcoming fifth studio album After Laughter. It was released on April 19, 2017 through Fueled by Ramen as the album's lead single. The song was written by lead vocalist Hayley Williams and guitarist Taylor York and was recorded in the band's hometown, Nashville, Tennessee and produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen and Taylor York. It is the first single to be released by the band since the return of drummer Zac Farro and the departure of former bassist Jeremy Davis. The song has received positive reviews, being compared to 1980's new wave and previous singles "Still Into You" and "Ain't It Fun".
Lyrically, "Hard Times" is about the feeling of going through hard times, and being useless in achieving one's goals. According to DIY, "Hard Times" follow the "bombastic footsteps" of previous singles "Still Into You" and "Ain't It Fun", featuring a "huge chorus and sugary vocals". Eddie Fu at Consequence of Sound agrees, noting that it expands on the pop rock sound of those songs by "further incorporating 1980's new wave". According to Billboard writer Lindsey Byrnes, it is a pop rock song that features a tribal beat, and is reminiscent of 1980's new wave.

The video was released and uploaded on Fueled by Ramen's YouTube channel on April 19, 2017. It was directed by Andrew Joffe and shot at Optimist Studios over two days in March 2017. According to Joffe, the band wanted to "embody some kind of '80s vibe" and made use of "the kind of hand-drawn rotoscoping animation effects made famous in a-ha's "Take on Me," and deploys a color palette straight out of Weird Science and Square Pegs.
