Trivia / Haim

• Approval of God: Tina Weymouth, Este's personal hero, said she was a fan of the band in a conversation between the two published in Interview magazine in late 2023.
• Black Sheep Hit:
  • "The Wire" has a slightly country-tinged sound, not far from something Shania Twain would have made.
  • While "Pray to God", their collaboration with Scottish DJ and music producer Calvin Harris has some of their recognizable guitars, the song is more-or-less a dance track with some rock influences, making it the blackest of their hits.
• Colbert Bump: While they found success as an alternative act during the Days Are Gone era, their current level of success is owed to the major profile boost they received from Taylor Swift by supporting her on a leg of The 1989 World Tour. She brought them back in 2023 on the west coast leg of her Eras Tour, which brought about a significant spike in their streaming numbers.
• Creator Backlash: Este and Danielle don't look back fondly on their time in the Valli Girls. Both have expressed regret that Haim wasn't their primary focus from the get-go. For one of Este's freestyle raps, the audience member picked by Danielle to select a topic suggested the Valli Girls. Danielle and Este skipped over her and picked out another audience member who suggested the dating app Tinder instead.
• He Also Did:
  • Appeared as guest prize models on The Price Is Right in January 2020 as part of "Music Week".
  • Alana was the female lead in the 2021 film Licorice Pizza, playing Alana Kane. The whole Haim family appears as her on-screen relatives.
• Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition:
  • Some versions of Days Are Gone came with a second disc compiling various remixes, the B-Side "Send Me Down" and the Forever track Better Off.
  • "If I Could Change Your Mind" was released as a vinyl single on Record Store Day with three different covers, each one depicting one of the Haim sisters.
  • Women In Music, Part III got a limited edition cassette release. The buyer could pick one of three different covers depicting one of the sisters, with the sleeve containing the sister of choice's autograph.
• Throw It In!: What "My Song 5" was to Days Are Gone. In fact, it's name is the default name from Garageband that the song was saved under (which saves music as "My Song 1", etc) that they didn't bother to change.
