I Quit (album)

On January 16, 2023, the trio was reported to have returned to the recording studio for their fourth studio album. In August that year, they hinted at a collaboration with British-Indian musician Jai Paul and were hoping to release new music soon. I Quit is a fifteen-track album predominantly produced by Danielle Haim and Rostam Batmanglij. It is the band's first album not to feature production from longtime producer Ariel Rechtshaid, Danielle Haim's former partner. The rock-influenced project is "the closest [they] have ever gotten to how [they] wanted to sound" while the recording process turned out to be a "completely different experience", according to Alana Haim. Danielle Haim described working with Batmanglij as "very quick, kinetic" as opposed to previous recording sessions with him. As with the cover of their previous studio album, American filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson once again shot the album artwork. ==Promotion==

The album rollout mainly included parodying "early 2000s paparazzi photos". All single artworks paid homage to memes or paparazzi photos of famous break-ups and divorces, including the likes of Jared Leto, Nicole Kidman, and Kate Moss. The lead single, "Relationships", was released on March 12, 2025, followed by the second single, "Everybody's Trying to Figure Me Out", on April 4. On April 23, Haim held one of two surprise concerts at the Bellwether theater in Los Angeles, their first full concert in nearly two years. During the gig, the band played in front of a screen with the words "I quit" which was later announced to be the title of the album. The trio performed their previously released singles as well as the live debut of the third single, "Down to Be Wrong", and the unreleased album cut "Blood in the Streets". The latter performance was joined by American singer Addison Rae. To support the album, the band has embarked on the I Quit Tour (2025). ==Critical reception==

Kristen S. Hé from NME similarly believed that "this record is proof that sometimes, you really do need to let go in order to grow." ==Track listing==
