Out now, the final physical version of Hayley Williams’ latest record, ‘Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party’, is available in stores worldwide. The completed album includes 20 songs, two of which didn’t appear on the original digital version, but are now available. This includes the R&B tinged earworm, “Good Ol’ Days” released two weeks ago, and “Showbiz” out today.
‘Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party’ originally dropped as a surprise collection of 17 unsequenced singles. Fans took to social media, working up their own tracklistings and even creating hayleysingles.com, where thousands of fans were able to share their preferred order just as Williams had hoped. Later the album was released digitally with 18 tracks including the single “Parachute”, and has been streamed over 130 million times in the 7 weeks since its digital release.
Fans can now pre-order the physical album, following a series of exclusive EGO NITES listening events held on 5 November across Jakarta, Manila, and Singapore as part of the global preview. EGO NITE Manila was celebrated in Post Ceremony in partnership with Pristine Records where fans got to listen and sing along to the album in full along with Paramore classic hits during the karaoke party that followed the listening session. The Southeast Asia events saw an incredible turnout, with hundreds of fans attending — and even getting the chance to pre-purchase the ‘Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party’ LP ahead of the single’s official release today.
‘Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party’ was produced entirely by Daniel James. Williams wrote, played and recorded a variety of instruments across each of the 20 songs, with cross-project contributions from long-time collaborators Brian Robert Jones and Joey Howard, and contributions from Jim-E Stack on “True Believer”, which just earned Williams her first solo Billboard Alternative Sales #1. After 20+ years spent fulfilling their contract for Atlantic Records – a contract Williams signed as a mere teenager – Paramore announced in December of 2023 that they were finally an independent band. This marks her first ever release outside of that contract.
Williams has released music videos for the album’s title track and “Parachute”, directed by Zachary Gray, and the single “Glum”, directed by her Paramore bandmate Zac Farro and AJ Gibboney. Earlier this month, she gave a stunning performance of her song “True Believer” on the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.
