When two voices as distinct and powerful as those of Moses Sumney<\/strong> and Hayley Williams<\/strong> meet, the result can only be something special. And “I Like It I Like It”<\/em>, their new collaboration released on May 8, 2025, confirms it: a song that not only overflows with emotion, but is a sonorous ode to desire<\/strong>, to obsessions we don’t understand, but feel deeply. <\/p>\n\n

Available through independent label Tuntum Records<\/strong> (founded by Sumney), the single is a musical journey that combines psychedelic soul, ethereal harmonies and a lyrical charge as intimate as it is haunting.<\/p>\n\n

“Hayley Williams and Paramore were an essential part of my anxious youth,” Sumney explained in the official release. “So when I was writing this song about an angsty crush, I knew she was the only person who could sing it with me<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n\n

And he wasn’t wrong. The result is a sublime blend of vulnerability, restrained sensuality and sweet melancholy. The production, by Moses himself with Quickly, Quickly<\/strong> and Rob Bisel<\/strong> (SZA’s regular producer), is minimalist but immersive, building an enveloping atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n

With phrases like “I turn into a cactus when we touch”<\/em> or “You cover all the magazines in my conscious stream… and that’s so weak”,<\/em> both artists build a narrative about desire from the emotional rather than the physical.<\/p>\n\n

It’s a song for those who have felt that kind of love that doesn’t end up coming to anything… but doesn’t go away either.<\/p>\n\n

The release was accompanied by a lyric video on YouTube<\/strong>, where both artists appear with platinum blonde hair, a detail that many fans relate to Williams’ dye line, Good Dye Young<\/em>. The clip is elegant, minimalist, like the song itself, and lets the music breathe. <\/p>\n\n
