Haim have given their two-month notice. The sister trio revealed the title of their upcoming fourth album during an underplay gig at L.A.’s The Bellwether theater on Wednesday night (April 23), flashing the phrase I Quit on the screen behind them at their first full show in nearly two years. They posted a photo of the moment on Instagram, as well as a video in which the phrase appeared amid a jumble of flashing boxes, followed by a robotic female voice reading the phrase “I quite what does not serve me.”

A cascade of other quits followed, including “I quit overthinking, I quit shame, I quit nicotine, I quit fear, I quit d–k, I quit judgement, I quit avoiding emotional intimacy, I quit my job, I quit caring about what you think, I quit waiting for an apology, I quit f–king around, I quit f–king everything, I quit f–king you, I quit wondering if someone will save me.”
The barrage of loud quitting ended with the phrase “I quit new haim album coming June 20th.” The follow-up to 2020’s Women in Music Pt. III has been previewed so far with the first single, “Relationships,” as well as “Everybody’s Trying to Figure Me Out.”
According to Setlist.fm, the show opened with the second new single, followed by a run of classics including “The Wire,” “Want You Back” and “Forever,” and the live debut of new tracks “Down To Be Wrong” and “Blood in the Streets,” with the latter featuring a surprise appearance by Addison Rae, who rolled around provocatively on stage in a long white tank top and sunglasses during the performance. The show ended with an encore run through “Relationships.”
The 1970s pop anthem “Down To Be Wrong” is due out on Thursday (April 24), with a video slated to drop on Friday (April 25). Haim will be back at Bellwether on Thursday night for a second show.
