  • Music Rewind 2025: Grammy Nominee Hayley Williams Made Everyone A ‘True Believer’

    [ad_1]

    Hayley Williams has truly become a star in 2025. This year highlights her full potential: from launching her own label and music to standout collaborations, activism, and the ongoing success of Good Dye Young. Hayley is continuously reaching new heights.

    We here at The Honey Pop love Hayley and want to share what she’s been up to in 2025. She’s been very busy, so enjoy!

    Independent Label: Post Atlantic

    We obviously have to start with her independent label, Post Atlantic. Post Atlantic comes, as its name suggests, after she left Atlantic Records in 2023. Her first project with her brand new label is our favorite album of the year, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party. Now it’s not just Hayley and Post Atlantic; Secret Disruption has joined them on their journey to support the album’s physical and digital distribution and marketing. We’re so happy for Hayley and wish her and Post Atlantic all the best, because from what we’ve seen, the album rollout was truly iconic.

    Third Solo Album: Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party

    Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party is Hayley’s third solo album, and first from her independent label, Post Atlantic, and it really started with a bang. The very first track, fans had heard, ‘Mirtazapine,’ actually came as a surprise drop on a Nashville radio show, and that was just the beginning. After that, if you were a lucky fan who had purchased Hayley’s new drop with Good Dye Young (her hair product company), you received a digital code that let you listen to 17 new songs titled Ego. Now it didn’t stay up for long as it was quickly taken down with a Thank You message. But luckily for everyone, it was released officially on all streaming services, and we were very thankful because this album truly changed our lives.

    It has 20 songs in total, and every single one stands out amongst the rest. We talked more deeply about the album in a separate article, but we’ll say time and time again: it was truly special, and Hayley dives deep into not only her own experiences but others’ as well, and she perfects it so well. You can check out Ego Death At A Bachelorette here.

    Grammy Nominations

    As we said, Ego Death At A Bachelorette was very special; it received four Grammy nominations! And do you remember how we said each track stands out? Well, each of the Grammy nominations came from three different tracks, so that really proves how good it is!

    • Best Alternative Music Album
    • Best Rock Song for ‘Glum’
    • Best Rock Performance for ‘Mirtazapine’
    • Best Alternative Music Performance for ‘Parachute’

    Now, this isn’t the first Grammy nomination or Grammy win (we have our fingers crossed) under Hayley’s belt, so we have really high hopes for Ego Death At A Bachelorette to be a Grammy winner very, very soon.

    Collabs

    Hayley has had more than a couple of amazing collabs in the big year of 2025. One of our first faves is her collab of the year with Turnstile, on which she was featured on their track ‘Seein’ Stars.’ Blood Orange’s Devonté Hynes was also featured on the track, and with all of their vocals *whew* it blew us away. The following month, she teamed up with Moses Sumney for ‘I Like It I Like It,’ and we know this one also stood out for you for many reasons, including its iconic cover art. As we mentioned before, Hayley has been very busy; another amazing vocalist Hayley collabed with was Jay Som. ‘Past Lives’ has not left our playlist. Last, but not least, she and David Byrne collaborated once again, but this time on ‘Open The Door’ for the Netflix film The Twits. It’s honestly really cute, and we recommend checking out the movie.

    Live Performances Galore!

    Hayley did so many live performances this year, but our favorites have to be the stages she did with friends! Especially the ones she did with some of our other faves! Like Finneas, Remi Wolf, Florence Welch, Bleachers, and Jack Antonoff. We couldn’t even tell you which one stood out amongst the rest, but if we had to pick, both her and Florence complement each other’s vocals so beautifully. Don’t even get us started on the ‘Dog Days Are Over’ group performance.

    Upcoming Tour

    Speaking of live performances, following the release of her new album, Hayley has announced a new tour. You don’t even know how much we’ve been freaking out since the announcement. The announcement, like the album’s release, came via a surprise leak, but from our girl herself. For this tour, Hayley and her team are putting in work to make it easier for actual fans to get tickets and for scalpers to hit the road. Tickets have already gone on sale. You can get yours here. We wish you all the luck in seeing her live 🤞.

    This was just a couple of things Hayley Williams was up to in 2025, and all we’re thinking is, when does she even have the time?! No, but seriously, Hayley has made 2025 hers, and we couldn’t be prouder.

  • Our Most Replayed Parts Of Hayley Williams’ Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party Album

    [ad_1]

    We, as many people did, have listened to Hayley Williams’ new album, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, on repeat since its release. We can’t even count how many times we kept repeating, basically all of these tracks. This album follows a collection of 17 singles, 16 of which we heard before, and one previously unreleased, ‘Parachute.’ We can go on and on about ‘Parachute,’ but that will have to wait. We love that she put it all in one place so that we can listen to each song back-to-back. We also appreciate the order in which they decided to place the songs. 

    Tracklist:

    • ‘Ice In My OJ’
    • ‘Glum’
    • ‘Kill Me’
    • ‘Whim’
    • ‘Mirtazapine’
    • ‘Disappearing Man’
    • ‘Love Me Different’
    • ‘Brotherly Hate’
    • Negative Self Talk’
    • ‘Ego Death At A Bacherloretty Party’
    • ‘Hard’
    • ‘Discovery Channel’
    • ‘True Believer’
    • ‘Zissou’
    • ‘Dream Girl In Shibuya’
    • ‘Blood Bros’
    • ‘I Won’t Quit On You’
    • ‘Parachute’ 

    We have to admit every single track ate with the lyrics. We initially tried making a list and narrowing down which song was our favorite, but we soon realized how difficult it was. Then tried lyrics, but as we said, they were just too good. So, here’s a list of our most replayed parts of the album. Enjoy! 

    ‘Ice In My OJ’

    Okay, look, there are a couple of parts in this track that had us hitting replay, like her tribute to an old project she was a part of, Mammoth City Messengers. She took that old part of her past self and reinvented it to be a banger with ‘Ice In My OJ.’ But there was one specific part that stood out, which was the chorus. We just love how almost gritty the “I’m in a Band!” part mixed with the “ah” part sounds. It’s just too good. It was such a great choice to open the album.

    “Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah (I’m in a band, I’m in a band)
    (I’m in a band, I’m in a band)    “

    ‘Parachute’

    We obviously had to include ‘Parachute’ since it’s the only song that wasn’t included in the original releases, plus it was our most replayed song on the album. Whatever you may think this track is about, we all agree that the track carries all the emotion and hits us with back-to-back punches. The part that just oozed emotion, as well as our favorite part, is the whole second verse. It really surprised us the first time we heard it, and we haven’t stopped singing it with the same emotion Hayley does ever since.

    “You told mе you waited for me, you said that you won
    Asked me on a plane from Rio, do I ever think of us?
    And you were at my wedding, I was broken, you were drunk
    You could’ve told me not to do it, I would’ve run, I would’ve run
    Tell me what was the moment, you decided to give up
    You could’ve told me what you wanted, I would’ve done, I would’ve done
    Anything, I would’ve done anything”

    ‘Zissou’

    For ‘Zissou,’ we honestly love the references from the song, such as the inspiration from the song ‘Life On Mars?’ which is featured in the movie The Aquatic Life, specifically with lyrics like “Vem cá, me dá a sua língua.” It also has a reference to Megan The Stallion with the line “Megan called it “Monster Soup“” referring to Megan The Stallion talking about all the hidden stuff in the ocean. Out of all of that, our most replayed part has to be the second verse.

    “Keep telling you the water’s fine
    Megan called it “Monster Soup”
    But the monsters are you and I
    We don’t have anything to lose”

    ‘True Believer’

    ‘True Believer’ was an immediate hit when it was first released, and for good reasons. Hayley has always been someone who speaks out, whether in her day-to-day life, during interviews, or in her music. She always helps put more eyes and ears on things. This track references racism in the South, religion, hypocrisy, and historical events that are worth knowing about, as well as songs that discuss the same topics. There is so much to take away from this track, but our most replayed part has to be the pre-chorus, specifically with its references to history and ongoing events.

    “The South will not rise again
    ‘Til it’s paid for every sin
    Strange fruit, hard bargain
    Till the roots, Southern Gotham”

    ‘Love Me Different’

    ‘Love Me Different’ is one of those tracks that we wish were longer; we could’ve listened to three more minutes of this track. Hayley’s voice just sounds so good in this, plus the beat was just so good, especially the sampled parts from Phoenix’s track ‘Fior di Latte.’ Go listen to their song and come back to this one, and you’ll hear it. Now, our favorite part comes from the post-chorus, where she starts off strong and almost angry, then ends the part softly. Plus, the “huh” almost sounds like a sigh, and we just love it.

    “And I want someone to love me different
    Huh”

    We honestly could go on and on about everything we love about the Ego Death At A Bachorlette Party. We love how the beginning of ‘Mirtazapine’ reminds us of the beginning of Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘ballad of a homeschooled girl,’ or how in ‘Glum,’ Hayley changes her voice until she slows it down with the line “I wonder,” then it’s her actual voice. *Sigh* see! We could go on and on about every track on this album.

    But that’s not all, guys, because Hayley Williams has said, and we quote, “we’re not done yet, there’s more,” so please excuse us as we scream. What does Hayley Williams have in store for us? Guess we just have to wait and find out, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled and continue listening to Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party.
