When asked by the St. Louis Post Dispatch about the song’s success, Hayley said:
I’m supersurprised. It should always be a surprise. I don’t think you should ever assume a single is goi...
[Verse 1]
I don't mind
Lettin' you down easy, but just give it time
If it don't hurt now, but just wait, just wait a while
You're not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feedin' on
[Pre-Chorus]
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you? (Ooh, uh-uh)
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?
[Chorus]
Ain't it fun
Livin' in the real world?
Ain't it good
Bein' all alone?
[Verse 2]
Where you're from
You might be the one who's runnin' things
Well, you could ring anybody's bell and get what you want
You see, it's easy to ignore trouble
When you're livin' in a bubble
[Pre-Chorus]
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you? (Mm, uh-uh)
So what are you gonna do
When nobody wants to fool with you? (Oh, uh-uh)
[Chorus]
Ain't it fun
Livin' in the real world?
Ain't it good
Bein' all alone?
Ain't it good to be on your own? (Oh-oh-oh)
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one? (Oh-oh-oh)
Ain't it good to be on your own? (Ah-ah-ah)
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one? (Ah-ah-ah)
Ain't it fun
Livin' in the real world?
[Refrain]
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
[Bridge]
Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun?
Baby, now you're one of us
Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun?
Ain't it fun?
[Chorus]
Ain't it fun
Livin' in the real world?
Ain't it good, ain't it goo-oo-ood
Bein' all alone?
Ain't it fun
Livin' in the real world? ('Cause the world don't orbit around you)
Ain't it good, ain't it goo-oo-ood
Bein' all alone? (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
[Refrain]
Don't go cryin' to your mama (Not to your mother)
'Cause you're on your own in the real world (Don't go cryin')
Don't go cryin' to your mama (To your mama)
'Cause you're on your own in the real world (Hey, baby, don't cry)
Don't go cryin' to your mama (Yeah, oh)
'Cause you're on your own in the real world (This is the real world)
Don't go cryin' to your mama (Hey, don't go cryin')
'Cause you're on your own in the real world (This is the real world)
[Outro]
This is the real world, this is the real world
(Don't go cryin' to your mama) Don't go cryin'
('Cause you're on your own in the real world) Oh, oh
(Don't go cryin' to your mama) Don't you cry to your mama
('Cause you're on your own in the real world) 'Cause you're on your own
(Don't go cryin') Don't you go, don't you go cryin'
(Don't go cryin') You're on your own
(Don't go cryin') No, don't go cryin' to your mama
(Don't go cryin') Don't you cry, don't you cry

Hayley Williams told The Sun:
Taylor (York) and I came up with the melody and I thought about Prince, too. Then it got layered with more groove and funk and all the cool elements. The next thing I know there’s a gospel choir in the studio and we have that track. It’s been so liberating to write thi...
Jeremy Davis told The Guardian:
After we started writing weird stuff like ‘Ain’t It Fun,’ we got nervous, but that was a comfort. We’ve grown and we don’t like the same music we liked, so why would [our fans] not? That idea kept us pushing ourselves.
