Paramore's Hayley Williams released 17 new songs on Monday (July 28). The tracks are not yet described as being part of a specific project or upcoming solo album, but she did upload them in one go to her website, hayleywilliams.net, behind a password-protected prompt.
Pitchfork reports that in order to receive the password, fans must purchase the new “Ego” shade of semi-permanent hair dye from Williams’ company Good Dye Young. The new track titles include “Kill Me,” “Negative Self Talk,” and “Discovery Channel”—the latter of which interpolates Bloodhound Gang’s 1999 single “The Bad Touch.” At least one of Williams’ songs, “Mirtazapine,” aired on Nashville public radio station WNXP last week and got its live debut during Bleachers’ set at Newport Folk Festival this past weekend, during which Williams made a surprise appearance.

In addition to the songs, Williams’ website also includes a folder labeled “Misc.” Inside are images of a T-shirt reading “Hayley Williams Is My Favorite Band” (a play on Paramore’s merch), a picture of lyrics scrawled in a coloring book, a live video of the band Phoenix, and a voice note of a child saying, “I’m sorry that you’re going through something hard!”
Hayley Williams dropping new songs isn't the only Paramore member solo career effort this summer. In late June, drummer Zac Farro released his own new single called "My My." On July 18, he shared his debut solo album titled Operator.
Back in 2020, Williams released her debut solo LP Petals for Armor and the three-track Petals for Armor: Self-Serenades EP. She followed it up with Flowers for Vases / Descansos the next year, which she described as “a prequel, or some sort of detour between parts 1 and 2 of Petals.” After that, Paramore dropped their fifth studio album, This Is Why, in 2023.
