Taking to her Instagram Stories, she shared another voice note which featured a snippet of the track, "Jumping Inside" by Mammoth City Messengers, which she featured on as a young teenager, before she joined Paramore. In the clip, she is talking over the song: "I said I was going to try, I'm sorry. I can't do it right now – I want to but I accidentally started making music," which leads fans to believe that she might be working on a new solo album.

Williams recently featured on a collaboration with Moses Sumney as well as a track on the forthcoming Turnstile album, NEVER ENOUGH, alongside Blood Orange.

"I Like It I Like It", is out now.
