Hayley Williams’ Solo Era Reaches New Peak

Physical Release of Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party

Hayley Williams has released the full 20-track physical edition of her third solo album, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, marking her first major independent release after over two decades with Atlantic Records. This physical version is now available in stores worldwide.

Album Details and New Tracks

The album includes 20 tracks, featuring two songs—"Good Ol’ Days" and "Showbiz"—available physically for the first time. This release completes one of the most unique and innovative rollouts in Williams' career.

Unconventional Rollout Strategy

True to her independent spirit, Williams initially released the album in mid-2025 as 17 surprise singles instead of a conventional album. Fans enthusiastically embraced piecing together the album in their own order, even creating a dedicated website to share customized tracklists. This approach fulfilled Williams’ goal of allowing listeners to shape the album’s narrative.

Digital Success and Transition

The singles were later compiled into an 18-track digital album, including the song "Parachute," which has since surpassed 130 million streams. The arrival of the 20-track physical edition represents the album’s definitive form and the close of an era, as Williams moves on from a contract she signed as a teenager.

"After more than 20 years with Atlantic Records, Paramore became fully independent at the end of 2023."

The physical release also symbolizes Williams’ full independence following her departure from Atlantic Records at the end of 2023.

Author's summary: Hayley Williams completes her transition to independence with the physical release of her album, offering fans a definitive edition after an innovative digital rollout and over 20 years tied to a major label.
