Hayley Williams Releases Physical Edition of Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party
Hayley Williams has launched the full 20-track physical edition of her third solo album, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, marking her first major independent release after two decades with Atlantic Records.
A Milestone in Her Independent Career
The album, available worldwide in stores, includes two songs making their physical debut: "Good Ol’ Days" and "Showbiz." This release concludes one of the most unconventional album rollouts of Williams’ career.
Innovative Album Rollout
Initially released in mid-2025 as 17 surprise singles, Williams encouraged fans to arrange the tracks themselves and even inspired the creation of a community website for sharing custom tracklists. This approach allowed listeners to actively shape their experience of the album’s narrative.
Digital Success and Final Physical Form
Weeks later, the project was compiled into an 18-track digital album including the song "Parachute," which has since amassed over 130 million streams. The 20-track physical release represents the album’s definitive form.
“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.”
End of a Two-Decade Partnership
After more than 20 years with Atlantic Records, Paramore’s lead singer transitioned to full independence at the close of 2023, marking a new chapter in her artistic journey.
Summary
Hayley Williams’ innovative independent release of Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party culminates in a full physical edition, symbolizing her artistic freedom after 20 years with Atlantic Records.
