Paramore have come along way from their emo/pop-punk roots; just look at their cover choices. As The FADER points out, the band has taken to playing a piece of "20 Something," the minimal acoustic song from Ctrl, the great recent album from Paramore's fellow beloved pop phenom SZA. In concert, the band works a bit of "20 Something" into their own similarly themed 2013 song "Grow Up." Watch a video below.

SZA, it bears mentioning, is a fan:

Ctrl is out now on TDE/RCA. Meanwhile, Paramore's new album After Laughter is out now on Fueled By Ramen. Both cracked our list of last year's 50 best albums.
