Get ready to be captivated by HAIM’s latest release, because this is the kind of music that makes you feel all the feels. The sister trio has just dropped their new single, “Tie You Down,” featuring none other than Bon Iver, and it’s a heartfelt exploration of the delicate balance between love and freedom. But here’s where it gets intriguing: the song isn’t just about wanting someone to stay—it’s about the internal struggle of fearing you might be holding them back. Sound familiar? It’s a theme that’s both deeply personal and universally relatable, wrapped in the kind of lush harmonies that only Danielle Haim and Justin Vernon could create.
This track is one of three fresh additions to the deluxe edition of HAIM’s latest album, I Quit, set to release on October 17th. And this is the part most people miss: the collaboration feels almost serendipitous, given Danielle’s recent appearance on Bon Iver’s dreamy track “If Only I Could Wait” earlier this year. Together, they’ve crafted a song that’s as comforting as it is thought-provoking—a perfect blend of their distinct styles.
But wait, there’s more. The deluxe edition of I Quit also includes two other new songs, “The Story of Us” and “Even the Bad Times,” all produced by HAIM’s longtime collaborator Rostam. To celebrate, the band will grace the stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on October 14th, just days before the album’s release. Talk about a busy schedule!
HAIM is currently wrapping up the North American leg of their I Quit Tour, with final stops in San Diego and Santa Barbara before heading to the UK for a string of shows. If you’re planning to catch them live, here’s a pro tip: grab your tickets now, but maybe bring a mask—apparently, someone’s been causing a stink at their shows. Yes, you read that right. But don’t let that deter you; their performances are nothing short of electrifying.
Now, here’s the controversial question: Does “Tie You Down” romanticize the idea of wanting to keep someone close, or does it honestly confront the fear of being too clingy? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Either way, this song is a must-listen, and the deluxe edition of I Quit promises to be a treat for fans old and new.
