HAIM have released a new song, ‘Everybody’s Trying to Figure Me Out’. Following last month’s ‘Relationships’, the single was co-written with Rostam Batmanglij and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. There’s a striking vulnerability to the song, though it hews towards the same warmth Danielle Haim brought to her recent Bon Iver collab ‘If Only I Could Wait’. “You think you’re gonna die/ But you’re not gonna die,” it resolves. Check it out below.
On Instagram, Danielle Haim wrote: “This next song we will be releasing is my favorite song we’ve written in the last couple years 🙂 writing it has gotten me through some hard times, and we felt this might be of some use to get our vibes right for this summer! I started writing this after a panic attack I had the night I got home from tour. I was very confused because I was SO SO SO happy about our incredible tour, but something about being alone with myself scared the shit out of me. after a lot of reflecting I realized I’ve let a lot of people try and tell me how I should live my life, but I realized in making everyone else happy, I lost myself. I wrote this as a way to believe in myself again and quit being scared to do what I want. I hope this finds anyone who needs it.”
