Hayley Williams brought a familiar face — and a fan-favorite hit — back to the stage on Monday night (Oct. 5).

During her Hollywood Bowl show in Los Angeles, the Paramore frontwoman surprised the crowd by welcoming Zedd to the stage for a live performance of their 2012 collaboration, “Stay the Night.” It had been 12 years since Williams and the electronic hitmaker performed the song together live.

Fan-captured footage from the show shows Zedd taking his place behind the piano while Williams delivered the song’s vocals. The duo had a stripped-back approach for the performance, trading the polished EDM production for a more raw interpretation of “Stay the Night,” putting Williams’ vocals front and center.

Released in 2012, “Stay the Night” paired Williams with Zedd during the DJ and producer’s early run of crossover pop hits. The collaboration went on to top Billboard‘s Dance Club Songs and Dance Airplay charts in 2013.

For Zedd, “Stay the Night” was monumental. The track followed his breakthrough album Clarity, whose title track — featuring Foxes — became a major Billboard Hot 100 hit when it peaked at No. 8, and earned Zedd his first Grammy Award, winning best dance recording at the 2014 ceremony.

Williams has been tossing in plenty of throwbacks throughout The Hayley Williams Show tour, which launched in September. During her Sept. 17 concert at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York, she brought out opener Rico Nasty for a rendition of B.o.B‘s “Airplanes,” which reached No. 2 on the Hot 100.

The singer is currently nearing the end of her Los Angeles run, with her second and final Hollywood Bowl show scheduled for Tuesday (Oct. 6). She will then take The Hayley Williams Show to South America in November before continuing the tour across Australia and Europe in 2027.
