On October 16, 2006, Yellowcard announced via its website that the group was back in the studio recording a new album. Guitarist Ryan Mendez posted on the official Yellowcard message board on October 21, 2006, that three songs had been completed and stated, "I really think fans of both older and newer Yellowcard are going to be very happy." Pre-production began in October 2006, and tracking began in January 2007. Between the months of January and March 2007, studio footage labeled "Yellowcard Sessions" regarding the band's progress on making the album was posted on their [[Myspace]], with a new video added every Thursday. In total, 10 videos were posted, with additional footage released on the deluxe CD/DVD edition of ''[[Paper Walls]]''. Additionally, in January 2007, some sample demo songs were released on the band's MySpace, though they were only rough recordings from pre-production and not the final recorded versions. The first demo was a 30-second preview of the iTunes bonus track, "Bombers", and the second was a clip of an unmixed version of "[[Light Up the Sky (Yellowcard song)|Light Up the Sky]]".

The first Yellowcard show since October 2006 took place on March 29, 2007, at the [[Troubadour (West Hollywood, California)|Troubadour]] in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood, California]].  At the show, lead singer Ryan Key announced to a sold-out crowd that the new album would be titled ''Paper Walls''. He said he would "probably get in trouble for [it]", but went on to announce the title anyway; Key also announced the album title during a concert at [[Southern Connecticut State University]]. During the Troubadour show, the group played two songs from its new album ("[[Fighting (Yellowcard song)|Fighting]]" and "The Takedown"). Yellowcard played an acoustic set the next night at the Troubadour and premiered two new songs, "Shadows and Regrets" and "[[Light Up the Sky (Yellowcard song)|Light Up the Sky]]".

In the teaser of an interview with Jason Tate of absolutepunk.net<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=245718 |title=Yellowcard Teaser Interview – News Article – |publisher=Absolutepunk.net |access-date=2011-07-18}}</ref> released on June 17 (one month before the release of the album), Key described the album as

<blockquote> ... very much a record of hope and finding yourself again. It's after you've come through all of that – going to the height of it – and picking yourself back up again. And by "hitting rock bottom", I don't mean in record sales or fame or any of that shit. I mean personally – emotionally ... Paper Walls is the story, the feeling, of what it's like to be out of those holes, looking back, no regrets, but smarter and having grown through them.</blockquote>

The whole interview was released on July 17, the release date of the album.

Yellowcard announced on May 15 via Myspace that the first single from ''Paper Walls'' would be "[[Light Up the Sky (Yellowcard song)|Light Up the Sky]]". This song was released to iTunes and radio on June 5. Soon after its release, ''Paper Walls'' became the second most popular album on iTunes and the most popular album in the alternative section. On July 9, Yellowcard released ''Paper Walls'' on the group's Myspace music player to give fans a taste of what was to come on the new album. ''Paper Walls'' was released in the U.S. on July 17 (July 16 on iTunes) in an additional CD/DVD format, as ''[[Lights and Sounds]]'' was the previous year. The DVD contains exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the band, an extensive photo gallery and two additional live bonus tracks.<ref>[http://www.yellowcardbr.com/news_eng.php Yellowcardbr.com] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141226212034/http://www.yellowcardbr.com/news_eng.php |date=December 26, 2014 }}</ref> In June 2007, Yellowcard was voted to do [[AOL]] Sessions Under Cover.

Yellowcard promoted ''Paper Walls'' nonstop after its release and started touring to support the album. The group supported [[Blue October]] during the band's United States 2007 fall tour and also supported [[Linkin Park]] in Japan in November/December 2007. While touring for ''Paper Walls'', Peter Mosely announced in a Myspace blog message that he would be leaving Yellowcard to pursue other endeavors, moving back to Jacksonville and rejoining his old band. [[Josh Portman]] from the bands Near Miss and Staring Back took over on bass until the reformation of Yellowcard in 2010, upon which Sean O'Donnell of [[Reeve Oliver]] became the bass player.

On January 7, Yellowcard went to the Middle East to do a [[United Service Organizations|USO]] tour. The group went to [[Kuwait]] as originally planned, but could not get into [[Iraq]] because of the President arriving and canceling all flights there.<ref>[http://www.yellowcardrock.com/blog.aspx] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100112122001/http://www.yellowcardrock.com/blog.aspx|date=January 12, 2010}}</ref> The band released a live album on January 22, 2008, titled ''[[iTunes Live from Las Vegas at the Palms (Yellowcard album)|iTunes Live from Las Vegas at the Palms]]''.
