The orange-haired icon strikes without warning. Hayley Williams just detonated a musical bombshell across the internet. On Monday, July 28, 2025, Paramore’s Hayley Williams surprised fans by releasing 17 new songs on her website. The timing screams intentional.
Twenty years ago, on July 26th, 2005, Paramore released their debut album All We Know is Falling. The band had signed their major label deal when Williams was just 14 years old. Now, two decades later, she commemorates that milestone with her boldest solo move yet.
Hayley Williams Surprises Fans with Secret Website Release on Historic Band Anniversary
Williams unleashed her musical arsenal through a cleverly orchestrated digital treasure hunt. Fans registered for updates on Williams’ hair dye company, Good Dye Young received a password for a website unlocking the new songs. The exclusive access codes arrived in email inboxes like golden tickets. Those lucky enough to receive them discovered a retro-styled website housing the complete collection.

Once this entry code is entered, fans can stream all 17 of the new songs, which include tracks such as “True Believer”, “Hard,” “Negative Self Talk,” and “Mirtazapine”. The song “Mirtazapine” had already created buzz when Williams debuted it on Nashville public radio station WNXP just days earlier. An additional “Misc” folder leads to a performance video that appears to have been captured during a 2017 Phoenix concert, adding vintage flavor to the digital experience.
The surprise drop comes at a significant moment in Paramore’s timeline. Paramore have dropped a 20th anniversary deluxe of their debut album, All We Know Is Falling, featuring the first digital release of The Summer Tic EP. The band had celebrated their foundational album just days before Williams launched her solo surprise. This synchronicity suggests deliberate planning rather than coincidental timing.
Over four years after the release of her sophomore solo project Flowers for Vases / Descansos, Hayley Williams has surprise-released 17 new songs. The collection represents her most substantial solo output since establishing her independent artistic voice. Whether these 17 tracks form a cohesive album or represent archived material remains unclear. What’s certain is that Williams continues pushing creative boundaries while honoring her band’s legacy. The anniversary timing transforms this release into both celebration and evolution.
