Petals for Armor

Petals for Armor is the debut solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Hayley Williams.

In an interview with BBC Radio, Williams confirmed that she was to embark on a tour in support of Petals for Armor following its release.

I'm excited to let people in to experience a different side of myself that I’ve only very recently become familiar with.”In December 2019, Williams announced on her birthday that she would be releasing a "taste" of new solo music in January 2020.

[13][14] "Leave It Alone" was released on January 30, 2020 by Atlantic Records for digital download and to streaming platforms and serves as the second single for Williams' debut solo EP, Petals for Armor I.

A music video for the song was written and set to be directed by actress Kristen Stewart, though plans fell through due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was announced that the support acts would be English R&B artist Arlo Parks on the North American leg and Scottish band the Ninth Wave in Europe and the UK.

However, in August 2020, Williams announced that the tour was already cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and that there were "no immediate plans to schedule new dates".
