Haim Fall In, and Out, and In, and Out of Love in Time-Warping Video For ‘Relationships’

Love is hard, and messy and confusing. That’s the take-away from Haim‘s first new album-tied single in nearly five years. The sister trio dropped their new single, “Relationships,” on Wednesday (March 12), along with a sleek Camille Summers-Valli-directed video in which singer/guitarist Danielle Haim keeps falling in, and out, of love with Queer actor Drew Starkey.

“Relationships, oh/ What’s all this talk about relationships?/ It feels like everyone’s caught up in it/ Oh, just you wait, you must be new to this,” she sings over the song’s snappy drums and subdued keyboards as she packs, and unpacks, her boxes while moving out, unsure if it’s over or worth another chance.

With time moving backwards and forwards, Danielle can’t figure out how to handle the vicissitudes of love, lamenting, “Why do I have a guilty conscience?/ I’ve always been averse to conflict/ But you really f–ked with my confidence,” as she goes from comfortably lounging with her love to questioning why she’s even trying.

There are good times, with the couple dancing cheek-to-cheek at a club, their hands all over each other, dressing and undressing each other at home over the soothing jazz pop arrangement produced by Rostam Batmanglij and singer Danielle.

“Relationships” is the first taste of new music from the group’s upcoming follow-up to their Grammy nominated Women in Music Pt. III, which was released in 2020 and reached No. 13 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

The sister band, which also features drummer Alana and bassist Este, began teasing the song earlier this month in a series of posts in which they were pictured walking in a parking lot, soaking in the sun and smiling, a tribute to a viral meme featuring Nicole Kidman depicted the same way in snaps believed to have been taken after the actress finalized her divorce from Tom Cruise in the early 2000s; Kidman has since debunked the theory about the snap, saying it was from a movie.

At press time no additional information was available on Haim’s upcoming fourth studio album. Back in 2023 the group recorded “Home” for the Barbie the Album soundtrack collection.
