Haim Unveils New Single “Relationships”

Recently, the musical trio Haim introduced audiences to their latest single, “Relationships.” This song, which offers a lighthearted pop vibe, reflects on the complexities of romantic connections. The release comes after a brief teaser shared via social media that sparked excitement among their fans. The full track was produced by Rostam Batmanglij and Danielle Haim, making it their first major release since contributing “Home” to the soundtrack of Barbie the Album in 2023.

The accompanying music video, directed by Camille Summers-Valli and featuring Queer actor Drew Starkey, showcases the sisters in an engaging visual narrative. Fans are encouraged to explore this vibrant new addition to Haim’s discography.

Following the initial tease on TikTok, Haim has been actively engaging with their audience by posting further snippets of “Relationships.” These clips, often featuring the sisters dancing and lip-syncing, highlight the song’s playful nature. They’ve also incorporated visual elements relating to the song’s theme, including images of bracelets inscribed with various relationship statuses like “Single,” “I’m Taken,” and “I’m ???.”

As announced in a press release, this single marks the beginning of a new era for Haim as it is the first glimpse of their upcoming album. Their last full-length project, Women in Music Pt. III, was released in 2020, and since then, they have kept a relatively low profile, aside from releasing standalone tracks such as “Cherry Flavored Stomach Ache” and “Lost Track.” They also contributed the original song “Feel the Thunder” for the animated film The Croods: A New Age and offered remixes featuring Toro y Moi and Taylor Swift.

While Haim has remained somewhat reserved about their upcoming projects, hints of new collaborations emerged during a 2023 interview with BBC Radio 6’s Lauren Laverne. In this conversation, they played Jai Paul’s “Jasmine” and teased potential studio work with the enigmatic producer, stating, “We may or may not have been in the studio with him…. Cannot confirm or deny.”

This exciting new release from Haim surely leaves fans eager for more, as they await further news about the upcoming album.
