Haim have shared a breezy new single titled ‘Cherry Flavored Stomach Ache’, landing today as part of the soundtrack for the Netflix film The Last Letter Of Your Love.
The song was produced by Dave Fridmann and Ariel Rechtshaid – the latter of whom also co-produced Haim’s 2020 album, ‘Women in Music Pt. III’, alongside ex-Vampire Weekend member Rostam Batmanglij.
‘Cherry Flavored Stomach Ache’ is an upbeat, effervescent pop tune that stands out with shimmery strings and an angular harmonica line.
As the band revealed in a tweet, the track was made “in the depths of [quarantine]”, which they say made it “the biggest gift”.

Haim also delivered a livestreamed acoustic performance dubbed ‘An Evening With Haim’ and a standalone single titled ‘Christmas Wrapping 2020 (All I Want For Christmas Is A Vaccine)’.
