The duo previously shared the stage in 2023, when Rico joined Paramore’s headlining concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles to perform “Misery Business.”

Rico reflected on the experience with Billboard:
“It was an amazing experience. And it felt like, I don’t know, my inner child really jumped out. And I hadn’t seen her in a while. Like I hadn’t seen her in a while on stage. I hadn’t seen her in a while backstage, like amongst the team like that. So I was like, ‘Wow, like this feels nice.’ And then I got to talk to Hayley.”
