"I remember too Uzi asking me to do some stuff with him, and I know that fans are going to be so pissed at me for saying this, but I literally wrote him back on Instagram and I was like, 'Buddy, I love you so much, but I don't want to be that famous,'" Hayley continues. "I told him like we were getting ready to take a break. I obviously had a lot of issues going on that no-one really knew about and I was like, 'Bro, I just need to disappear. I don't want to be that kind of a famous person.' Because that is… He's like a big artist, man. My stepbrother is obsessed with them. He was pissed when I told him the story."

In the same interview, Hayley also discussed the summer Paramore headlined Warped Tour, recalling, "We were playing these slots that were like same stages, same sort of timeframes as Thursday, and they were really, really big band at the time. That was wild and we did get some… I wouldn't say people treated us like… But there was definitely a little bit of people rolling their eyes or not knowing whether or not they believed we deserved it.
"I'm really glad that our, whatever it was, whether it was ambitions or just our tastes morphing and us going through whatever we were going through. I'm glad that it took us away into other worlds, because the truth is if I do want to do work with Denai more or do work with Uzi, I don't ever want to be pegged into one hole. That's why I get to do this Petals For Armor; who in a million years would think that Taylor [York] and I would write songs that are like the ones on EP3, that completes the record when we were growing up writing Conspiracy by Paramore. It's the important thing to keep morphing and evolving."
