Los Angeles-based trio HAIM released a new single, Everybody's Trying to Figure Me Out, on April 4, 2025.
The song arrives a month after their previous track, Relationships, which was reportedly the strongest streaming debut in the band's career. Reports suggest that Relationships leaned into the pop-funk genre. However, this latest release is a track mainly rooted in self-discovery and vulnerability. Lead vocalist Danielle Haim describes it as "deeply personal."
Billboard reports that Danielle took to the official Instagram page of the band to pen a long note ahead of the release of 'Everybody's Trying to Figure Me Out.' The post read:
"This next song we will be releasing is my favorite song we have written in the last couple years :) writing it has gotten me through some hard times, and we felt this might be of some use to get our vibes right for this summer! I started writing this after a panic attack I had the night I got home from tour."
It continued:
"I was very confused because I was SO SO SO happy about our incredible tour, but something about being alone with myself scared the shit out of me. After a lot of reflecting, I realized I have let a lot of people try and tell me how I should live my life, but I realized that in making everyone else happy, I lost myself. I wrote this as a way to believe in myself again and quit being scared to do what I want. I hope this finds anyone who needs it. -d “Everybody’s trying to figure me out” - Out this Friday."
