Haim have shared “Lost Track” and its accompanying Paul Thomas Anderson–directed video (via W). The song was first previewed during screenings of Anderson’s Alana Haim–starring film Licorice Pizza. The band explained that the song came about as a spontaneous collaboration with Anderson during his cover shoot with Alana for W. Watch “Lost Track” below.
“An opportunity arose to do a quick music component while shooting the story. Paul mentioned having the book Appointment in Samarra as a possible direction,” Haim wrote. “So we did some digging around the book and were inspired by the scene where the main character throws a drink in someone’s face at a country club. We were inspired by the idea of someone doing something so drastic to get out of a situation they felt uncomfortable in—just to feel something.”
Haim are set to begin touring next month. Their last album was 2020’s Women in Music Pt. III.
