Hayley Williams has debuted another song from her forthcoming debut solo album, Petals For Armor, out May 8.
Called “Why We Ever,” the song’s lyric video features personal footage taken by Williams last fall.
Williams also took to social media this week to talk about the song’s origin, sharing that “Why We Ever” was the song that ultimately helped Williams decide to make a solo album. The post also features footage of her writing the song.
in Dec 2018, i bought protools, an interface, and some speakers and decided to learn something new. these moments are from my first go at it (we’re talking out of time/phase/tune… etc!)…
i was at the lowest point i’d been in some time. my sadness shows. now i look back and credit this night as being the beginning of a new season of my life, where i hold myself accountable for learning to love better. i’ve let myself down a lot in love. this was the start of recognizing bad patterns and acknowledging that i’m ready to grow out of them. thank you @micahtawlks for helping finish and reimagine this one for the album.
the new song, “Why We Ever” is out tomorrow.
“Why We Ever” follows a slew of previously released songs from her forthcoming album including “No Friend,” “Over Yet,” Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris,” “Leave It Alone” and more.
Williams also recently shared that her forthcoming North American headlining solo tour will likely be postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. No official announcement or rescheduled dates have been announced yet.
