Hayley Williams released “Showbiz,” a surprise track from her third solo album, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, which was officially released on vinyl today. The song was added after the initial 17-song collection that came out in the summer through her label, Post Atlantic, and was distributed by Secretly Distribution.
“Showbiz” was co-written with producer and collaborator Daniel James, who contributed to the entire album. The track narrates a romantic encounter shrouded in the fog and haze of a club atmosphere. Williams sings:
“I wanna do it again
I wanna dance in the strobe lights
I wanna choke on the smoke
And feel your eyes on me”
She then reflects on whether the experience meant as much to the other person as it did to her. The accompanying visualizer showcases Nashville’s skyline alongside signature scribbles that Williams has consistently featured in the album’s artwork.
To mark the album's physical release, record stores worldwide organized “Ego Nite” events offering record playback sessions, exclusive merchandise, and physical copies of the LP.
