Rumors about a new Hayley Williams solo album called Flowers For Vases started swirling last week. To start, Williams’ website redirects fans to a cryptic Flowers For Vases landing page with eerie audio of Williams saying “my limb” over and over again. As well, numerous fans have been receiving mysterious packages with various doll limbs tucked away inside.

Soon after these clues emerged, quite a few Flowers For Vases Instagram accounts launched. However, Williams quickly debunked the speculation that she was affiliated with one of these accounts. Shortly after, she then directly shared another cryptic clue, seemingly confirming that something exciting was on the way.
On Wednesday, she posted a graphic that relates back to the Flowers For Vases artwork seen on that mysterious landing page. Fans speculated that the post’s caption is lyrics to an unreleased song, a move Williams has done numerous times in the past. Prior to the release of Petals For Armor‘s lead single “Simmer,” she shared an Instagram post with lyrics from the song.
“dont give me the tourniquet.”

Finally, on Thursday, all of the pieces came together with the help of a fan. Williams actually drove to the Nashville home of a fan named Carly and hand-delivered a CD of her new song “My Limb.” She then asked Carly to personally leak the song on the internet. Of course, Williams documented the entire thing on her Instagram story.

The new song “My Limb” directly relates back to the mysterious packages fans received, the audio on the landing page and the Instagram Williams shared. The Instagram post’s caption also includes the opening lyrics to “My Limb.”
As well, if you notice in the video of Williams delivering the CD to Carly, she says “one of the songs.” This could mean that even more new material is on the way in the form of the speculated Flowers For Vases album.
For now, “My Limb” is unavailable on streaming platforms. However, it can be unofficially streamed below.

Hayley wanted to do something very niched for us fans. Not something for the charts, nor for the sales. She just wanted to have that intimate moment of her and us sharing the art. Something that feels like your best friend just recorded a demo and wanted to show it to you. https://t.co/5sLxEt6JxD
