Hear Hayley Williams Debut New Song ‘Mirtazapine' on Nashville Radio
Hayley Williams shared a new song, titled 'Mirtazapine,' on Tuesday night on Nashville radio station WNXP. The track, named for a common antidepressant, is a mid-tempo, shoegazey rock number that sees the Paramore singer unleashing her signature howling vocals. Williams posted a fuzzy photo of a bottle of Mirtazapine on Instagram before the song premiered, hinting at its thematic tone. 'Here comes my genie in a screw cap bottle/ To grant me temporary solace,' she sings on the track. 'I could never be without her/ I had to write a song about her/ Who am I without you now?/ Mirtazapine, you make me eat, you make me sleep/ Mirtazapine, you let me dream.'

The station posted the news on X along with a video of a CD that listed two song titles: 'Mirtazapine' and 'Glum.' Williams released her last solo LP, Flowers for Vases/Descansos, in 2021. She recently lent her vocals to Turnstile's song 'Seein' Stars,' off the band's new album Never Enough. She also collaborated with Moses Sumney on his song 'I Like It I Like It,' which dropped in May. In 2023, Paramore released their sixth album, This Is Why. The rock band spent much of last year on the road with Taylor Swift in support of the Eras Tour. Williams spoke about her ongoing struggle with depression in an interview with Rolling Stone around the album, noting that This Is Why was the first time she felt comfortable addressing the issue in song. 'People talk about anger and depression being so related because depression is like when you turn your anger inwards,' she said. 'And I think that there's bits of that anger mixed with bits of this real understanding of how frustrating it can feel to wake up with depression. Depression about your own choices, depression about the state of the world, depression about lost relationships or connections, or purpose. All that stuff is so heavy and you can't control it. So by this point, writing This Is Why — having learned about my own experience and looking at it head on — I think that it's interesting to think of that being a foundational point to the angst and the anxiousness and worry that This Is Why holds.'

Hayley Williams debuts new solo track on Nashville radio
Hayley Williams premiered a new solo track titled Mirtazapine during a special segment on Nashville's WNXP public radio. The song marks her first solo release since 2021, when she put out Flowers for Vases / descansos. In keeping with the station's community-centered spirit, Williams personally delivered the CD to WNXP headquarters. The disc was handwritten and labeled with the phrase 'Long live public radio,' along with a note that read, 'Thanks for keeping me company.' The song's title refers to an antidepressant medication, suggesting the lyrics may reflect emotionally introspective or mental health related themes, though no official statement about the meaning has been made. The broadcast was unannounced prior to the day of airing, and listeners were invited to tune in at 5:30pm Central Time for the surprise debut. Williams has not yet clarified whether the song is part of a larger solo project or a standalone track. Online reactions to the release have been positive, with fans praising the emotional tone and stripped-down delivery.
