Hayley Williams Releases Full Physical Edition of Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party
Hayley Williams, frontwoman of Paramore, has launched the complete 20-track physical edition of her third solo album, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party. This release marks her first major independent project after two decades with Atlantic Records.
Unconventional Album Rollout
The album was initially released in mid-2025 in a unique format: instead of a traditional album drop, Williams released 17 singles individually without prior notice. Fans embraced this approach by creating their own track orders and sharing them on a dedicated website, embracing Williams’ desire for listeners to shape the album’s narrative.
Digital Success and Physical Expansion
Shortly after the singles release, the project was compiled into an 18-track digital album that included the song "Parachute," quickly gaining over 130 million streams worldwide. The newly released physical edition adds two additional tracks, "Good Ol’ Days" and "Showbiz," both appearing on physical media for the first time.
Significance of the Release
This full 20-song physical edition represents the definitive version of the album and symbolizes the close of Williams’ long-standing relationship with Atlantic Records, which ended in late 2023 after more than 20 years. Now independent, Williams is charting a new course in her music career.
“The physical release caps off one of the most unconventional and engaging rollouts of Williams’ career.”
“Paramore became fully independent at the end of 2023.”
Summary
Hayley Williams' physical release of Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party marks a milestone in her independent journey, concluding over 20 years with Atlantic Records and redefining the album experience for fans worldwide.
