"'Careful'" is a song by American rock band Paramore, and is the fourth single from their third studio album, 'Brand New Eyes'. The song charted on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 the week 'Brand New Eyes' was released before it was announced as a single. It charted due to digital downloads. The song impacted radio on June 8, 2010.
Reception
Ed Masley at 'The Arizona Republic' ranked it as the 13th best Paramore song, stating "Its No. 78 performance on the Hot 100 isn't for a lack of accessible pop hooks."
Ex-guitarist Josh Farro, speaking with NME on the reasons he left the band, mentioned a lyric in "Careful" as being contradictory to their Christian faith.
Music video
It was announced on the official Paramore fanclub that a video containing live footage of the song would be released on June 8, 2010.

The clip also contains footage from their 2010 Spring Tour as well as their 2009 Fall Tour. It also shows clips of the band off stage. The music video is also the third of Paramore's videos to be a compilation of performances from various concerts, the first two being "All We Know" from 'All We Know Is Falling' and "Hallelujah" from 'Riot!'.
