David Byrne and Hayley Williams have teamed up for a new collaboration song, entitled “Open The Door.”
The new single from the Talking Heads frontman and the Paramore singer is the ending theme for the upcoming Netflix animated film The Twits, which is based on the 1980 children’s novel of the same name by renowned author Roald Dahl.
Watch the trailer for the film below:
“Being a part of this movie is like one pinch-me moment after another. My favorite Roald Dahl book growing up was The Twits,” says Williams in a conversation with Netflix. “I owe David Byrne for pulling me into the music for this.”
Alongside “Open The Door,” Byrne notably also wrote and produced two other original songs for The Twits, and says of the new collaboration single: “I reached out to Hayley Williams to collaborate on the end credits song. We both agreed that it should serve to remind us that there is heart and connection in the story after all the unpleasantness depicted by Mr. and Mrs. Twit.”
“Open The Door” notably follows Byrne and Williams’ previous collaboration song “What Is The Reason For It?” — the fifth track on Byrne’s latest studio album, Who Is The Sky? The album came out recently on September 5, 2025. Meanwhile, “Open The Door” also follows Williams’ recent collaboration with American singer-songwriter Jay Som on the song “Past Lives.” It was released on October 10, 2025.
The Twits premieres on Netflix this October 17, 2025 (Friday).
