Hayley Williams gave us another taste of her upcoming and highly anticipated debut solo album Petals for Armor. After previously sharing lead single “Simmer,” Paramore’s frontwoman now presented another new track titled “Leave It Alone.”

Williams wrote “Leave It Alone” with Paramore’s touring bassist Joey Howard while the production was handled by the band’s guitarist Taylor York. The song was accompanied by a music video that was directed by Warren Fu. Check it out below.

Hayley Williams’ debut album is set for release on 8th May 2020 via Atlantic Records. According to Williams, the album was written in 2019 during the time when Paramore was on hiatus. She described the process as a “scary, empowering experience” in one of the interviews. Following the release of Petals for Armor, Williams intends to tour in support of the record.

Despite embarking on a solo music career, Williams insists that this doesn’t mean the end of Paramore and that the band is on hiatus. The group released their most recent album, titled After Laughter, back in 2017. The LP was well received by the critics and peaked at No.6 on US Billboard 200.
