Why did Hayley Williams suddenly pull her secret album offline?
Hayley Williams has pulled a vanishing act on her fans. Days after quietly uploading her surprise solo album Ego to her website, the Paramore frontwoman has deleted all 17 tracks without explanation. In place of the music now sits a simple message: "Hello, there. Thank you for listening." And just like that, Ego has disappeared, possibly for good. The mysterious rollout began last week when Williams' latest track Mirtazapine premiered on WNXP Nashville. Not long after, the full album, featuring titles like Kill Me, Glum, and Brotherly Hate, appeared on her official site. But it wasn't freely available. To access the music, fans had to purchase from her hair brand, Good Dye Young, and enter a 16-digit code. Those who did were granted temporary access to what now feels like a ghost record. Theories are circulating. Williams, now an independent artist following the expiration of her major label contract, may be experimenting with exclusivity, or simply expressing disillusionment with the traditional release model. Some speculate that the removal was part of the concept itself: a record about ego that self-destructs. The stunt has echoes of her previous unpredictable moves. She surprise-dropped Flowers for Vases / descansos in 2021, and before that, released her solo debut Petals for Armor in 2020. More recently, she's appeared on tracks with Turnstile, Moses Sumney, and David Byrne, who has a new album Who Is the Sky? releasing in September featuring Williams on What Is the Reason For It? As for Ego, it's unclear whether the album will ever reach streaming platforms or return to her site. For now, it exists only in fragments, downloaded by a few and discussed in whispers.

Hayley Williams releases 17 new songs via website drop linked to Good Dye Young campaign
Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has released 17 new songs directly through her personal website. The tracks were made accessible via a code distributed through her hair dye brand, Good Dye Young. Once fans entered the code, they were redirected to a special page featuring the unreleased music. Titles include 'True Believer,' 'Mirtazapine,' 'Hard,' 'Negative Self Talk,' 'Discovery Channel,' and 'Zissou.' The page also contains a 'Misc' folder featuring additional media, such as a live performance video believed to be recorded in Phoenix in 2017, a lyric book image, and merchandise labelled 'Hayley Williams is my favourite band.' The nature of the release—whether these tracks constitute a full album or a standalone compilation—has not been clarified. Williams' last known release was the single 'I Like It I Like It' in collaboration with Moses Sumney earlier in 2025. Her previous solo works include the full-length albums Petals for Armor (2020) and Flowers for Vases / Descansos (2021), as well as three extended plays. The surprise drop follows closely behind Paramore's reissue of their debut album All We Know Is Falling in a digital deluxe format. The release marked the album's 20th anniversary and featured the first digital appearance of the band's The Summer Tic EP, which was originally only released on CD. Paramore's move to self-release comes after the group parted ways with Atlantic Records in December 2024. They have since announced intentions to continue independently, with new material reportedly in development.

The release comes in conjunction with her Good Dye Young hair dye company. But to access the new tracks requires more than just handing over an e-mail address. Paramore fans are elated this week after lead singer Hayley Williams surprised fans – and a few music insiders to boot – with 17 brand new tracks on her website. The release comes in conjunction with Williams' Good Dye Young hair dye company. Fans making their way to her official website were met with a vintage Windows-style pop-up menu requesting a code. This code was reportedly given to customers who purchased products from the hair dye company, particularly those who bought the 'Ego' shade. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Once said code has been entered though, fans have been treated to new tracks such as 'True Believer,' 'Mirtazapine,' 'Hard,' 'Negative Self Talk,' 'True Believer,' 'Discovery Channel,' and 'Zissou.' A 'Misc' folder further provides a 2017 Phoenix performance video, an image of a lyric book, and a 'Hayley Williams is my favourite band' t-shirt. Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams has surprised fans with a secret 17 tracks drop - by virtue of a 16 digit code available to those who bought from her hair dye company. |for TAS Rights Management As reported by Variety, though, whether the tracks are set to comprise a new record for the lead singer, or just a collection of assortments throughout the years that have been amassed by Williams, remains to be seen. It's currently unclear if these tracks will eventually be released on streaming services, as there's been no official announcement from Williams or her team about a formal album release. Williams' latest effort saw her as a guest on the single 'I Like It I Like It' with Moses Sumney earlier this year. In addition to her work with Paramore, she's also put out two solo albums—2020's Petals for Armor and 2021's Flowers for Vases / Descansos—as well as a trio of EPs. The collection of new songs arrives shortly after Paramore's release of a deluxe digital edition of their debut album, All We Know Is Falling, commemorating its 20th anniversary. This new edition also marked the first digital release of 'The Summer Tic' EP, previously available only on CD.

Access is currently gated by a 16-digit code. This code was reportedly sent to customers who purchased products from her hair dye company, Good Dye Young, particularly those who bought the 'Ego' shade. If you don't have an email with a code from Good Dye Young, some reports suggest you might be able to get one from a friend who did. Once you have the code, you'll enter it on her website, which then grants you access to a page with MP3 links for the tracks, as well as a 'Misc' folder containing bonus content.
