On Thursday, May 29,Este,DanielleandAlana Haimappeared on theSidetrackedpodcast to chat about their upcoming album,I quit, which drops on June 20. At the start of the episode, host Nick Grimshaw told the sister trio how much he loves the album title, and Este, 39, quickly asked, "We told you the story behind it?" Grimshaw confirmed he wasn't aware of the title's origins, and Alana, 33, began to explain its connection to the 1996 film,That Thing You Do!"There's this film, it's calledThat Thing You Do!,and it's about a one-hit wonder band in the 1960s," she began. "It was a movie that we all three very much connected on as very young children." The musical-drama follows the rise of the Wonders, a small-time band from Erie, Pennsylvania, who are launched to superstardom after winning a local talent contest. The group ultimately splinters under the pressures of fame, ego, jealousy, and quickie Reno weddings, but they leave behind the legacy of the movie's titular song — a sparkling pop gem that set the charts on fire in the summer of 1964. Columbia Records As Alana continued, she explained how in one of the final scenes, the Wonders' lead singer Jimmy (Johnathon Schaech), is instructed by their manager, Amos White (Tom Hanks), to come up with a second single that is "peppy and snappy." "And Jimmy wants to record like a brooding, sad song. And he goes, 'Peppy and snappy, okay?' And he gets on the mic and he goes, 'I quit, I quit, I quit, I quit, Mr. White.'" Alana sang as she and Este snapped together. "And so growing up, whenever we would have, like, check a mic, we would always go, like, 'I quit.'" 20TH CENTURY FOX/Album/Alamy But as she continued, she revealed that as they were creating the album, each new track, they realized, "we were quitting something that made us feel better." "One day, we're like, 'Should we manage our album?I quit,' " she said, before noting she felt like they fell into a common songwriting practice when musicians' subconscious are actually writing the music. "Like, months after we were like, 'Oh, I was like, writing this, but I didn't understand it until I had time to really think about it,' " she said. "It's just like stream of consciousness." "I think that was what really happened," she said. "Our subconscious was going for it, and our bodies caught up." Ahead of releasing their first album in five years, Haim has dropped three singles, "Relationships," "Down to be wrong," and "Everybody's trying to figure me out." On Friday, May 30, they release their fourth single,"Take me back." During their conversation onSidetracked, Alana noted that while creating the album, "It was the first time, since basically we were all in that high school era, that we were all single." "I think it really brought up this nostalgic [feeling] for that time of when the last time we were single, when I was like 14, 15, 16. It's just been amazing to kind of like go back and relive those times, [and] get back into it."
