Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.
The featured article for Saturday, 23 May 2026, is Running Out of Time (song).
"Running Out of Time" is a song by the American rock band Paramore. It was released on May 23, 2023, by Atlantic Records as the fourth single from the band's sixth studio album This Is Why (2023). Hayley Williams, Taylor York, and Zac Farro wrote the song in the early stages of the album's production, and Carlos de la Garza produced it. The band premiered the song at a concert at the Grand Ole Opry on February 7, 2023, and performed it on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on February 14.
Described by critics as a pop-rock and dance-rock song, "Running Out of Time" deals with time management and comments on social anxieties over death, aging, and losing friends. Williams said the song was influenced by her personal struggle with punctuality and her friendship with Taylor Swift. Critics positively reviewed the song, praising its lyrics as playful and its composition as well-balanced. In 2023, the song peaked on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart, the UK Singles Chart, and the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Rock Airplay charts in the United States, and ranked on Billboard's year-end Alternative Airplay chart.
Ivanna Borin directed a music video for "Running Out of Time" that Paramore released on February 16, 2023. In the video, Williams enters an Alice in Wonderland-themed world, where she confronts the anxieties addressed in the song. The video received praise for its costuming, including vintage Vivienne Westwood and contemporary Rodarte outfits.
