HAIM sisters released their fourth studio album, I Quit, earlier this year. The rock group has now released a deluxe version of the album, with two new tracks. Infusing '90s rock with their contemporary work, HAIM define the feeling of romantic resignation on their album. Pitchfork reported that Alana Haim resonated the theme during a press release and said,
"Every single song has a theme of quitting something that isn’t working for us anymore.”
In a June interview with GQ, the sisters revealed they never wanted the title to feel pessimistic, but rather wanted their listeners to feel a "release." As Este Haim describes the album, the exit is "also the entrance", inviting their fans to let go of things that don't serve them.

Every track ranked from best to worst on HAIM's I Quit (Deluxe)
We are taking a look at HAIM's I Quit (Deluxe) and tracking the tracks from best to worst:
1. Relationships
Relationships became the post-breakup anthem for many and one of the most viral tracks on the album. In their conversation with GQ, Alana revealed that it was the track that also took the longest to compose, due to their personal experiences. She said that it,
"took us a very long time to make for some obvious reasons that we don’t have to get into but you can just look at the lyrics and you’ll understand why.”
2. Take Me Back
Take Me Back is upbeat but represents the bittersweet nostalgia of past experiences. It easily passes as a summer anthem and is a tribute to the sisters' time living together and their college experiences.
3. Down To Be Wrong
Even 20 years after their music journey began, HAIM maintains a similar charm of staying true to their style, and it shows off proudly in Down To Be Wrong. Danielle channels cathartic energy on the drums and sings,
"Boy, I crushed my whole heart trying to fit my soul into your arms.”
4. Gone
Some tracks from the album, including Gone may not be for everyone. For some, this might result in a disconnection, while others may find a sense of comfort. One listener (@unshakablesoul) on YouTube wrote,
"This album feels like I'm wandering in a fever dream of the 90s but I'm still here in 2025 and it's alllllll gonna be alright."
5. Spinning & Lucky Stars
The tracks are on the lighter side and offer a respite from the heavier themes. Lucky Stars features more 90s guitar style, and gradually builds up, retaining listeners' attention. Many users on YouTube describe it as their favourite following the track, Relationships.
6. The Story of Us & Even The Bad Times
The Story of Us & Even the Bad Times are the new tracks on the deluxe album. The former has a 2000s rock vibe, quite similar to Avril Lavigne's summer anthems. The latter infuses a more pop energy and is a fun track to listen to. The track adds a new dimension to the record.
7. All Over Me
All Over Me experienced a mixed reception, revealing the subjective nature of HAIM's tracks. However, many appreciate the music video and the ease of listening to the track.
8. Now It’s Time, Cry & Blood On The Streets
Looking for U2-inspired music? Listen to Now It’s Time. The track complements delicate lyric delivery, contrasted with an electronic guitar. Blood On The Streets has a similar vision, but with more gritty lyrics.
9. Tie You Down
The HAIM sisters announced the deluxe edition of their album, with Tie You Down, which came out last week. The single features close collaborator, Bone Iver
“If you wanna leave you can/ Or you could/ Put your little heart in me now/ Ain’t that how it’s supposed to be?”
10. Try To Feel My Pain, Everybody's Trying To Figure Me Out
The tracks feature a vulnerable account of their personal experiences. At the same time, both tracks offer a release from people's expectations.
11. The Farm
Loved by many fans, The Farm is a fuzzy ballad that may leave one thinking about past relationships. HAIM sisters sing,
"So we could keep on trying/ Or we could sell the farm/ Just buy me out/ Buy me out"
12. Love You Right, Million Years
While both tracks are unique in their own right, they don't add much weight to the album. Could these be skipped? potentially, yes.
