Directed by Jake Schreir, the video puts the venue Haim were billed to play before COVID-19 hit on a pedestal.
Haim have dropped the music video for their latest single 'Don't Wanna', taken from their just-released brilliant album Women in Music Pt. III.
The trio are heavily associated with Los Angeles, and have brought their visual talents to the LA Forum parking lot - featuring plenty of strolling, running, walking and ditching their cars.
'Don't Wanna' harks back to their past music videos, sending a cheeky nod to their previous slow-motion jogging antics.
Women in Music Pt. III. was released last Friday, featuring the tracks 'I Know Alone', 'The Steps', 'Summer Girl', 'Hallelujah' and 'Now I'm In It'.
Haim taught dance classes on past music video choreography over Zoom during lockdown, offering the steps to 'Want You Back' and 'If I Could Change Your Mind'.
Haim said of the video: “We were so excited to headline the Forum on our upcoming tour – but when quarantine hit, we had to change our plans. Thank you to the The Forum for letting us run around in your parking lot though.”

The Hot Press review of Women in Music Pt. III dubbed it their best work yet.
"The album captures their frustrations, confidence and insecurities over a backdrop of classic rock-inspired indie jams. It offers a clear evolution in sound, moving away from the pop influences on their last record to something edgier and ultimately more earnest."
