Hayley Williams’ Solo Era Peaks With Physical Release of Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party

Hayley Williams has released the full 20-track physical edition of Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, marking a major step in her independent career after more than two decades with Atlantic Records.

Complete Physical Edition Hits Stores Worldwide

The third solo album from the Paramore frontwoman arrives today in stores around the globe. This edition includes 20 tracks, featuring two songs—"Good Ol’ Days" and "Showbiz"—available on physical format for the first time.

An Unconventional Release Strategy

True to her independent approach, Williams initially released Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party in mid-2025 not as a traditional album but as 17 surprise singles. This innovative rollout encouraged fans to create their own track sequences, even prompting the launch of a dedicated site to share custom tracklists.

"Fans embraced the puzzle, sequencing their own album orders and even launching a dedicated site to exchange tracklists, fulfilling Williams’ wish to let listeners shape the narrative."

Digital Success and Final Album Form

The project later appeared as an 18-track digital album including the song "Parachute" and has surpassed 130 million streams. The 20-song physical release represents the definitive version of the album and marks the closing chapter of Williams’ longstanding contract with Atlantic Records.

Transition to Independence

After a relationship spanning more than 20 years, Paramore and Hayley Williams parted ways with Atlantic Records at the end of 2023, fully embracing independence.

"The arrival of the 20-song physical edition signals the final form of the record, and with it, the end of an era in Williams’ career tied to a contract she signed as a teenager."

Author's summary: Hayley Williams celebrates her newfound independence with the complete physical release of her innovative solo album, marking a pivotal transition after two decades with Atlantic Records.
