Hayley Williams refused to become a pop-style Top 40s singer despite pressure from the label.

"The problem was, we didn’t know where we were going to go with [Riot!] with radio. The plan from the beginning with the label was to get [Hayley] to be a top 40 artist, a pop artist like P!nk and Britney. They thought we had gone too rock.

But [Hayley] was angry. She wasn’t going to write about sappy love. There was no way. She appreciated it, she loved *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys... but that was not what she was about to do... She wanted to be able to be an alternative-type artist, in the sense that she could take risks and sort of follow her heart lyrically."
