LISTEN: Hayley Williams – ‘Why We Ever’

Hayley Williams is showing no sign of slowing down, releasing yet another single from her upcoming album Petals For Armor, entitled Why We Ever. Fair warning: this one will give you all the feels.

Hayley Williams (aka Paramore frontwoman turned solo songstress extraordinaire) explains that the night she wrote this song marked the start of a “new season” of her life, teaching herself to love better.

ok. another song from Petals For Armor ll drops tomorrow. 🌺 long caption alert (🙄 surprise). 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.

We were also lucky enough to receive a live performance of the latest track from Williams’ old humble abode which she shared with fellow band member Joey Howard.
