"On the chorus of "Good Ol' Days," Williams sings, "'Cause I miss you, miss kissing your face/ Blissin' out to music we made/ Who knew, who knew my baby/ Who knew the hard times were the good ol' days?" This is a clear reference to After Laughter lead single "Hard Times," which was released eight years ago in April 2017. Williams wrote that album in tandem with Paramore lead guitarist Taylor York."
"Ego Death drew Fleetwood Mac comparisons, something Williams plays into on "Good Ol' Days" with the line, "I'm not Stevie, I won't hex ya." Other notable lyrics include "We could sneak around like we're on tour/ Even if that's all you want me for, for/ You could call me Miss Paramore" and the hook, "'Cause I miss you, miss kissing your face/ Blissin' out to music we made." Of course, only Hayley Williams and perhaps Taylor York know what these lyrics truly mean, but they sure are provocative!"
Hayley Williams released 'Good Ol' Days,' a soulful solo song that references Paramore's After Laughter era and evokes personal nostalgia. The chorus includes lyrics about missing kissing and blissing out to music they made, directly invoking the idea that hard times were the good ol' days. After Laughter's lead single 'Hard Times' was released in April 2017 and was written with Paramore guitarist Taylor York. Lyrics from Williams's third solo album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, previously sparked breakup rumors. Good Ol' Days debuted live at Rolling Stone's Beacon Theatre during a Musicians on Musicians event.
