Haim have shared “Lost Track” and its accompanying Paul Thomas Anderson-directed video via W Magazine. The song was first shared 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 Magazine.
“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,” they 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.
