“Now I’m In It” is the second single from HAIM’s upcoming third album. It was released, alongside its video, on October 30th, 2019.
Despite its lyrics, Danielle Haim has clarified that the song is not about a break up, but about mental health – struggling between yourself and your mind.
Now I’m In It Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Looking in the mirror again and again
Wishing the reflection would tell me something
I, I can't get a hold of myself
I can't get outta this situation
Walking in a straight line, thinking about last time
This time, I said I would do this right
Said I would never break this promise
But now I'm back to counting on us
[Pre-Chorus]
We cannot be friends
Cannot pretend
That it makes sense
We cannot be friends
Cannot pretend
That it makes sense
[Chorus]
'Cause now I'm in it
But I've been trying to find my way back for a minute
Damn, I'm in it
And I've been trying to find my way back for a minute
[Verse 2]
Locking all the doors to my house, I'm alone in my head
But I wish you were in my bed
Can't get a read on myself
Gotta change this situation
Something in the way that I felt when I woke up
Told me that I shouldn't give in, give up hope
Told me that I shouldn't fight what I felt
Told me that I should not let go 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
We cannot be friends
Cannot pretend
That it makes sense
[Chorus]
'Cause now I'm in it
But I've been trying to find my way back for a minute
Damn, I'm in it
And I've been trying to find my way back for a minute
'Cause now I'm in it
And I've been trying to find my way back for a minute
And the rain keeps coming down along the ceiling
And I can hear it
But I can't feel it, oh
[Bridge]
Took me so long
To fall
Now I'm in it, now I'm in it
[Chorus]
'Cause now I'm in it
And I've been trying to find my way back for a minute
And the rain keeps coming down along the ceiling
And I can hear it
But I can't feel it, oh

People think ‘Now I’m In It’ is a break-up song because I sing: ‘We can’t be friends’ but I’m talking about me and my mind. It was gnarly and I was not OK with myself.

In a longer statement on the song, Danielle wrote:

How did this song come about?
Este: This song started with Rostam. He had this really cool track of a pulsating guitar riff that we use a lot in all of our songs, and so I was immediately like, “Wait, did you make this for us?” He was like, “It’s just something I made, and it sounded like something that you guys would do,” and w...
What inspired the song?
Alana: We did this big tour supporting our second record, and I feel like me, Este and Danielle were such work horses that we’ll keep going until someone tells us to stop, which is what I love to do. I mean, I can be on tour for fucking 45 years. That’s my shit. I’m like get me on tour. But your bod...
What's it like working with Rostam?
Danielle: He’s the brother, we never had.
Este: He’s a Sonic wizard so we’re lucky that we have him, but usually it’s like very insular. I also like that he’s also so up for anything, also, which is kind of like you throw the spaghetti at the wall and you see what sticks. And that’s always been par...
