Ava Max’s ‘Don’t Click Play’: Key Things to Remember
ion, she has been completely silent on social media since July 7, leaving no updates on Instagram, TikTok, or other platforms. Still, Atlantic Records has confirmed that the album is arriving on schedule.
Despite the mixed success of the singles on the album, Ava’s dedicated fanbase has remained supportive. Songs like “Lovin Myself” and “Wet, Hot American Dream” were well-received by fans when they were released. However, the cancellation of the Don’t Click Play Tour caused some concern among fans. Ava explained that she needed more time to perfect the shows, promising that they would be worth the delay.
Ava’s journey with “Don’t Click Play” began after wrapping up her On Tour (Finally) series in September 2023. She hinted at entering the studio for her third album, alluding to the work in progress by teasing “Album 3 loading.” Throughout early 2024, she revealed her exploration of various musical genres apart from her usual electro-pop sound. Ava expressed her excitement for the new album, revealing that it would feature slower songs and a mix of pop, rock, and country tracks that fans had not heard from her before. She described this project as the highlight of her career and celebrated the new era by bringing back her iconic max-cut hairstyle.
Initially scheduled for a late 2024 release, Ava decided to start anew in the studio, feeling that the original material lacked coherence. This led to the creation of a 12-track record that strikes a balance between familiar pop elements and innovative textures. The album includes already released singles like “Lost Your Faith,” “Lovin Myself,” and “Wet, Hot American Dream,” along with fresh tracks like “How Can I Dance,” “Sucks to Be My Ex,” and “World’s Smallest Violin.” The title track, “Don’t Click Play,” sets the tone for the collection.
Despite challenges along the way, Ava Max’s dedication to her artistic vision and commitment to delivering high-quality shows have remained unwavering. The release of “Don’t Click Play” marks a significant milestone in her career, solidifying her position as an artist willing to push boundaries and evolve creatively. As fans eagerly anticipate the album’s arrival, Ava’s innovative approach to music promises an exciting and dynamic listening experience for all.
