As Michelle Zauner revealed in an interview with NPR:
"The song title comes from this Satoshi Kon movie, Paprika, and this sort of surreal parade that happens. I was playing around with a lot of these Spitfire Albion orchestra plugins, and I had come up with this marching band thing that built up into this huge crash in the chorus."
"This song is the perfect thesis statement for the record because it’s a huge, ambitious monster of a song. We actually maxed out the number of tracks on the Pro Tools session because we used everything that could possibly be used on it. It’s about revelling in the beauty of music."

Zauner told Harper’s Bazaar:
"For a song like ‘Paprika,’ I typically feel like I need to experience anguish a lot of the time to feel like I’ve put in enough hard work. If I finish a music video shoot, or a session, or something after eight hours and I don’t feel like I’m going to collapse, I often question, ‘Did I do a good job?’ I think that ‘Paprika’ is a sort of reminder that that isn’t entirely necessary."
