Decode

Alexandra Cahill of Billboard.com gave the song a reasonably satisfactory review by stating that "vocalist Hayley Williams captures the tension and urgency between undead protagonist Edward and mortal love interest Bella with an impassioned, yet restrained performance". They also described the song as "expertly crafted follow-up Decode promises to stake a claim at modern rock and top 40 radio". ^[3]

Entertainment Weekly said of Decode being a step away from Paramore's "bouncier punk-pop sound for a more sprawling, Evanescence-like romanticism".
