This playful track originally appeared in Haim's 2012 Daytrotter session and featuring prominently in their live setlists, where it proved to be a favorite. When the sisters came to record the tune for their debut album they tried laying it down in a variety of different ways from raw rock 'n' roll to electronica. "It's like the hardest math problem ever, " Este Haim told NME. "We want to get it right – we love that song." The cut was released as a single on September 23, 2013.
The song's music video finds the Haim sisters dumping their respective partners. The clip co-stars Jorma Taccone of the Lonely Island as one of their spurned boyfriends. Taccone also had a recurring role on HBO's Girls.
"The Wire" shows up in the 2014 fantasy-comedy-horror movie Vampire Academy, and in the trailer for the 2017 rom-com Home Again. It also appears in these TV shows: Revenge ("Dissolution" - 2013) Bates Motel ("Gone But Not Forgotten" - 2014) Criminal Minds ("300" - 2018) Insecure ("High-Like" - 2018)
