The track is the latest taste of the L.A. sister trio’s upcoming album I Quit
We’re less than a month away from the new Haim album, but the L.A. sister trio is keeping us fed with another single: the nostalgia-heavy “Take Me Back.”
The rollicking track is a rush of euphoria for the good old days, featuring a call-back chorus (“take me back!”) and a cast of characters that include Kane, Molly, and David. “Take me back to driving/Smoking with the windows down/Trying to waste the day away/I never get to do that now,” Danielle Haim sings.
“For the first time since high school, the three of us all found ourselves single,” the band said in a statement. “We were going out a lot; just the three of us spending quality time together. So much so that we would reminisce about living at home and all the crazy stories that happened during our teenage years.”
“Take Me Back” is the fourth single off I Quit, following “Down to Be Wrong,” “Everybody’s Trying to Figure Me Out” — co-written with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon — and “Relationships.” At a show last month at the Bellweather in Los Angeles, they debuted the new track “Blood on the Street,” while Addison Rae danced onstage.
I Quit, out June 20 via Columbia Records, marks Haim’s fourth album, after 2020’s Women in Music Pt. III. It features 15 tracks, and was produced by Danielle and Rostam Batmanglij. For the rollout, the band has been recreating iconic paparazzi shots of celebrities; the single art for “Take Me Back” featured an elite homage to a 2004 photo of Kiera Knightly and Jamie Dornan. Nostalgic, indeed.
After hitting Primavera Sound Festival this summer (in Barcelona on June 6 and Portugal on June 14), Haim will launch a North American headlining tour this fall, kicking off on Sept. 4 in Philadelphia. The leg will conclude in Santa Barbara, California on Oct. 11, before they head to the U.K.
