Hayley Williams’ hair has truly defined some of Paramore’s most iconic eras. From her dark red “Decode” locks to her long white waves during the After Laughter cycle, Williams’ hair has symbolized some key moments in Paramore’s career. In fact, the singer recently revisited some of her iconic looks for Halloween.

Now, it looks like she is throwing it back to the early days of Paramore with her latest style. This past week, Williams celebrated her 32nd birthday by saying goodbye to her Petals For Armor hairstyle and reintroducing a hair color many fans are familiar with. The frontwoman debuted her new orange hair that is truly reminiscent of Paramore’s Riot! era days.

It seems as though Williams has actually had the hair color for quite some time. She recently performed an emotional cover of Massive Attack‘s “Teardrop” while wearing a towel over her head. It turns out that she was actually just trying to hide her hair color before the big birthday reveal.

Naturally, a lot of Paramore fans are relating Williams’ latest hair color back to Paramore’s classic Riot! era days.

Now, this isn’t the first time Williams had brought back her red hair in recent years. Last year, she was seen temporarily rocking some bright red hair while promoting her hair brand Good Dye Young. Although the color didn’t last long, Paramore fans shared very similar reactions to the iconic hair color.

However, this time around, Williams’ latest hair change arrives at a rather interesting time. Speculation about Paramore working on new music has been swirling for months. Back in October, some slight changes to the band’s social media platforms led to fans theorizing new music could be on the way. Then, following a comment from Jimmy Fallon, Paramore shared a cryptic message seemingly confirming they are working on new music.
