Haim share new single ‘Down to be Wrong’
Haim has released another single from their upcoming album, I Quit. The track, ‘Down to be Wrong,’ is the third offering from the unreleased project, which will be released this summer.
Described as a “confident ode to self-preservation and prioritising yourself,” the song opts for minimal instrumental flourishes in the verses, instead focusing on the personal, reflective lyrics.
Lyrics include: “Boy, I crushed my whole heart/ Tryin’ to fit my soul into your arms/ And I crushed up these pills/ And I still couldn’t take ’em.”
The Haim sisters announced details of their fourth album on April 23rd at an intimate Los Angeles show. They also played their recent singles ‘Relationships’ and ‘Everybody’s Trying To Figure Me Out’ for the first time at the show.
Following the theme of things ending, as suggested by the album’s title, the band aired a video behind them which contained the message, “I quit”, which was followed by “I quit what does not serve me”, “I quit overthinking”, “I quit shame”, “I quit dick” and “I quit caring about what you think”.
Haim’s last album, Women in Music Pt III, was released in 2020. In the last half a decade, Alana Haim has branched outside of the music world to star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2021 film Liquorice Pizza. Her sisters Danielle and Este also made cameos in the movie. Anderson has also made the artwork for I Quit.
The sisters teased the album release in March with a reference to this movie. They posted a video clip on TikTok that featured Este and Danielle dragging their sister Alana through a door as she struggles to escape.
The caption read: “When your sisters are making you get back in the studio but you were born to be an Oscar award-winning actress.” With their third single, it can’t be denied that Alana has her foot placed right back into the music world.
The indie pop trio have confirmed that the album will be coming on June 20th.
