Haim released "Now I'm in It" on October 30, 2019, after flagging it in a Guardian interview alongside another new song, "Hallelujah", and it's the sound of a band working through something heavy. It was billed as a breathy pop ballad, and listeners took it for a breakup song, but Danielle, who sings it, said the fight in it is with her own mind; just before it came out she explained that it was about getting through a bout of depression.
The sound was a jolt, too. Pitchfork's Abby Jones found it a long way from the stripped-back groove of the previous single, "Summer Girl", and from most of what Haim had done before, heard a bassline that recalled Taylor Swift's "Style", and, for all its organic touches, found the electro-pop sheen an awkward fit.
