Moses Sumney and Paramore’s Hayley Williams join forces on their first collaborative single “I Like It I Like It.” The song sees Sumney flex his deeper vocal range and his dexterous ability to complement his collaborators. Williams reveals her sultry side on the second verse and in the song’s climax.
Speaking about the song, Sumney shares: “Hayley Williams and Paramore underscored a large part of my anxious youth, so when I was writing this song about having an angsty crush on someone, I knew there would be no better person to sing it with than the queen of yearning. I’m glad we get to get soulful together.”
“I Like It I Like It” was written by Sumney and co-produced with Quickly Quickly and Rob Bisel (SZA’s “Kill Bill”). It’s Sumney’s second offering of 2025, following February’s “Hey Girl(s),” featuring acclaimed singer Syd and Grammy-award-winning poet and singer Meshell Ndegeocello.
Last August, Moses released Sophcore, his first body of original music since his critically acclaimed double album græ in 2020. The EP features the singles “Vintage” and “Gold Coast” and showcases Sumney’s continued musical evolution, highlighting more overt R&B influences and the singular voice on which he’s built his career.
