Read Full BioHAIM (pronounced HY-am, meaning "life" in Hebrew) is an American pop rock band from Los Angeles. The band consists of three sisters: Este Haim (bass guitar and vocals), Danielle Haim (lead vocals, guitar, and drums), and Alana Haim (guitars, keyboards, and vocals). In addition to their primary instruments, each member is proficient in several others. The group's pop sound on their studio work stands in contrast to the more rock-based music of their live shows. Most frequently compared to Fleetwood Mac, HAIM's sound has been described as "nu-folk-meets-nineties-R&B"(by the BBC) and "music that sounds like it was written on a lakeside retreat attended by Stevie Nicks, John Waite and En Vogue" (by the Guardian newspaper).
The sisters grew up in a musical family, and began playing instruments from an early age in the cover band Rockinhaim, fronted by their parents, Moti and Donna. The two elder sisters, Este and Danielle, began performing with the pop group "Valli Girls" in 2005. They released a few songs on soundtrack and compilation albums under that name, but left the group shortly after an appearance at the 2005 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. They formed Haim with younger sister Alana in 2007, but did not seriously consider it a professional career for some years. After Danielle became a successful touring guitarist, first with Jenny Lewis and later with Julian Casablancas, Haim reformed as a full-time operation in 2012.
The group's first release, Forever (an EP released as a limited-time download), combined with positive reception at the South by Southwest festival, led to a deal with Polydor Records and a management deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation group in mid-2012. The band began recording material for their first album, Days Are Gone, in sessions between touring dates, including appearances at the Glastonbury Festival. The album charted in the top ten in several countries, including the number-one spot in the UK, and the group had won several "best of" awards by the end of 2013. The group was nominated for Best New Artist at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Their second album, Something to Tell You, was released in July 2017. Their third album, titled Women in Music Pt. III, was released on June 26, 2020. The group received nominations at the 63rd Grammy awards for Album of the Year (for Women In Music Pt. III) and Best Rock Performance (for "The Steps").

HAIM Lyrics
You know I'm bad at communication, it's the hardest thing for me to do
And it's said, it's the most important part that relationships go through
And I give it all away just so I could say that
I know, I know, I know, I know that you're gonna be okay anyway
You know there's no rhyme or reason for the way you turned out to be
I didn't go and try to change my mind, not intentionally
I know it's hard to hear me say it but I can't bear to stay and
I just know, I know, I know, I know, that you're gonna be okay anyway
Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire
It felt right, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when it came down to the wire
It felt right, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when it came down to the wire, huh
Know you use your imagination, try to make it what you want it to be
Because I'm sorry I did what I did, but it came naturally
And I gave it all away just so I could say that
Well I know, I know, I know, I know that you're gonna be okay anyway
When I tried to keep myself together, after all the opportunities
I try to stay true to you and try to do what you wanted from me
And I'd give it all away just to hear you say that
Well I know, I know, I know, I know that you're gonna be okay anyway
Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled it when it came down to the wire
It felt right, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when it came down to the wire
It felt right, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when it came down to the wire, huh
Ooh yeah
Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire
Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No no, no, no
It felt right
It felt right
It felt right
No, no, no, no
But I fumbled and when I came down to the wire
Yeah

I worked in production on this music video, and I gotta say, after 17 hours of listening to this song non-stop, I wasn't able to get it out of my head for about 2 weeks after.
Taryn Rowe
So bloody talented these chicks!!

@Not Sure it’s only really hell if the band or the song is bad in some way. Like, if I had to work on a Nickelback music video, I’d probably be upset having the song stuck in my head.
Rob Tierney
17 hours strait? So do you refer to this song as the Wire... OR.... The Loop? lol
Mike Masters
Lucky you!

I’m praying it’s gone as soon as I click out.

I love this, breakups suck but I love seeing the guys cry out out and cope without diving into a bottle or random girl's pants is kind of awesome. It's not pathetic, it's healing, I love that they call each other to cry it out.

Feminist nonsense. Those dudes are bigger girls than their girlfriends.
