“iMi” is the fifth track to be released from Bon Iver’s fourth studio album i,i. The track was released on August 8th, 2019, the day after fans were able to hear i,i in its entirety at listening events held worldwide.

Brad Cook, co-writer on the song and long-time collaborator with Jusin Vernon, describes the song’s history via Apple Music:

It was like an old friend that you didn’t know what to do with for a long time. When we got to Texas, a lot of different people took a crack at trying to make something out of that song. And then Andrew Sarlo, who works with Big Thief and is just a badass young producer, he took the whack that broke through the wall. Once the band got their hands on it, Justin added some of the acoustic stuff to it, and it just totally blew it wide open.
