Jeff Schroeder's debut solo single, "Haenim", released July 14, 2021! It is a cover of a song written by Shin Joong Hyun and originally performed by Kim Jung Mi on her 1973 album, Now. Schroeder said that in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the song was calling him so he decided to record it with some friends as a form of healing. He also explained how it is a nod to his family's roots in Korea. He dedicated the song to musician Max Perenchio (aka "The Pelican Boy"), who died in a car accident on November 26, 2020. A music video created by Sky Goodman was also released.
"What's influenced me more than anything is an internal spiritual journey. You realize at a certain point in your life that you have all these experiences within yourself – all these tastes and likes that I have, and things that I enjoy – and then there's part of you that has to translate that and present it to the world."
The song features Third Eye Blind bassist Arion Salazar, Shane Graham on drums, and Heeya So on vocals. The initial session took place at The Cave studio in Los Angeles, and Schroeder later added additional guitar layers at his home studio. So recorded her vocals remotely.
Guitar World praised the song as "an array of massive-sounding powerchord lines and plenty of inspiring leads." Rock at Night declared it as "dreamy, stunning [with] a classical vibe", adding that it is "an ethereal song [where] the listener gets the whole message of 'peace from nature'."
