Discover the story of the song > Ain’t It Fun – Paramore

The song talks about how the protagonist used to feel like a big deal, but now she's realizing that the world doesn't revolve around her. She's learning to deal with things on her own and be okay with being alone. The chorus repeats that living in the real world and being alone can be good, even if it's not always easy. The refrains remind the protagonist not to cry to her mother, as she's now in the real world and needs to learn to handle things on her own.
