Hayley Williams has released her new single “Good Ol’ Days”. Coinciding with a special live show in New York City, Williams also performed several tracks from her new album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party for the first time. With this performance, she ushered in a new chapter of her solo career, both musically bold and emotionally open.

According to Stereogum, “Good Ol’ Days” stands out as a poignant balance between shimmering production and intimate lyricism. Williams reflects on the pull of memory and how the “good old days” often carry both comfort and complication. Onstage in NYC, she delivered the song with a stripped-back intensity that mirrored its introspective tone. The performance was enhanced by moody lighting and minimal staging, allowing her voice and the emotional core of the material to take center stage.
