HAIM, la banda californiana formada por las hermanas Este, Danielle y Alana Haim, ha fascinado al mundo con su deslumbrante mezcla de rock, pop y R&B desde su nacimiento en 2007. Originarias del Valle de San Fernando, crecieron en una familia profundamente musical. Sus padres, mordidos por el mismo bicho melódico, formaban parte de una banda de covers llamada Rockinhaim, y fue ahí donde las integrantes futuras de HAIM dieron sus primeros pasos en el mundo de la música.
Con la ayuda de sus padres, Este, Danielle y Alana comenzaron a experimentar con instrumentos desde muy jóvenes. Danielle se inclinó hacia la guitarra y la batería, Este tomó el bajo, y Alana se convirtió en multiinstrumentista. Sus influencias iniciales abarcaron un amplio espectro que incluía desde Joni Mitchell y Fleetwood Mac hasta TLC y Destiny's Child. Esta combinación ecléctica sentó la base para el sonido único de HAIM.
En sus primeros años, el grupo se dedicó a tocar en pequeños clubes y escenarios locales, lo que les permitió pulir su talento y ganar una base de seguidores fiel. Su primer EP, Forever, lanzado en 2012, fue un éxito rotundo, obteniendo elogios de la crítica y capturando la atención del público gracias a su estilo fresco y su energía vibrante. Las canciones “Forever”, “Better Off”, y “Go Slow” destacaron por su autenticidad y su capacidad para evocar tanto nostalgia

Host: My Song 5 is a little bit of a surprise when you listen to the record. It's like "Is that you? Is that really you? It's not what I was expecting but I like it."
Danielle: That song, I mean just the title 'My Song 5', its the demo. It's whenever you open a Garageband track, you know, it gives you a title already and the first title is 'My Song 1' and then once you use that up-
Este: It goes: 2, 3, 4, 5
Danielle: The next, My Song 2, My- Unless you name it something, and for me, whenever I'm making, we're making or just writing and not making any specific idea or we don't have an idea for a lyric it kinda. Like, it's weird to kind of name a song before you even create anything.
All: Yeah.
Danielle: So, once we got to My Song 5, we kind of created this weird melody with these weird drums and just kind of brainstormed a bunch of different ideas on this one session. And I remember bringing it to Ariel and I was like "There's something to this, I don't know what but there's all these kind of random parts but I think they can work together." And we worked on it and it just always stayed My Song 5. We never changed-
Alana: Everyone was like "What is My Song 5's name?" and we were like "My Song 5."
Danielle: We were like we don't know- it just always felt that it should just be called that, just because it is- There's so many different parts and it kind of just sounds like a demo and we used a lot of the sounds from the demo. Like, there's a part where I say "Honey I'm not you're honey pie." and that's literally me in my living room on Garageband with like a weird CD like stuck in- like you can hear like the weird humming from the CD, like my stuck CD in my laptop. Like, you know, we used a lot of the Garageband sounds on that. It just seemed like we should keep it My Song 5.
Este: That was a fun one to record too.
Alana and Danielle: Yeah.
Danielle: Just cuz we were, we wanted to keep the demo-ish quality of it but kind of amp it up.
