"In another reason why they should just form a dang band already, Hayley Williams and David Byrne have released another new collaboration in "Open The Door." The sentimental, sunshine-laden ballad is from the soundtrack to the new Netflix film The Twits (based on the beloved 1980 Roald Dahl children's novel). In the film, two kids and a "family of magical animals" team up to battle the "meanest, nastiest villains [who] pull a trick to take over their town." Check out the song below."
"The same day the pair released "Open The Door," Williams made a surprise appearance during Byrne's October 10th show at New York's Radio City Music Hall. Byrniams/Willyrne performed their other duet, "What Is the Reason for It?" (off Byrne's latest, Who Is The Sky?). Then, later in the set, Williams returned for a rendition of Paramore's 2017 jam "Hard Times" (of which Byrne previously released a cover and performed regularly across this latest tour). Check out footage from that show below."
""She has an extraordinary rapport with her audience," Byrne said. "It's very sincere and very close, which I made note of that. I just thought that's really amazing." Byrne also noted that "What Is the Reason for It?" came together rather organically, and that he and Williams both managed to be in town at the same exact time. He added, "I just texted her and said, 'Do you want to come by and sing on this?' And she said yes.""

The film features two kids and a family of magical animals teaming up against mean, trick-playing villains. Williams made a surprise appearance at Byrne's October 10 Radio City Music Hall show, where they performed another duet, "What Is the Reason for It?", and Williams later joined for a rendition of Paramore's "Hard Times." The pair first collaborated during a 2023/2024 re-release project and have kept regular contact since.
