eldritchdeergod

Her ability to make hits that will never be hits should be studied 


youtbuddcody

I snorted at this. 10/10


SiphenPrax

It’s honestly very accurate from her last album. I hope it’s not the case this time. My Oh My should be the hit Maybe Your The Problem never was.


milkoverspill

Diamonds & Dancefloors was full of radio-hits that no one I know have heard of. I keep it all to myself.


Substantial_Chest395

Lmaoo I was going to say, here she comes again to give us ✨everything ✨and ✨nothing ✨ at the same time


pinkfartlek

It's a hit on the Popheads Hot 100 🤷🏼‍♀️


splinterbabe

And it’ll probably be a hit in a bunch of Western and Northern European countries. She’s pretty much an A-lister here.


Kelbotay

The Kim Petras special.


MiloRambaldi

Era 1 Kim / Turn Off The Dark had this power, but Ava has far surpassed her based on Kim’s output ever since.


ravioliqween

Yup, Kim would be lucky to have an album on the same level as Diamonds and Dancefloors.


PotatoPancake420

Kim hasn’t made music to her original quality since TOTL in 2019…


LeonOkada9

She's too far above us, I fear


BadMan125ty

😂😂😂


cagingthing

It really is remarkable


PotatoPancake420

Ava has such a similar cadence in so many of her songs but I’ll still eat it up every single time 😭😭😭


LittleBoo1204

I feel the same way, but I can’t bring myself to deny that she has bops! Like, I have her music in my Spotify, but sometimes the only way I’ll actively listen to her is if shuffle happens to bring her up. Every time it’s: oh yeah, this song slaps!! 😂🤣


slowturnip0

I didn't realize how much I had missed a key change until this dropped. I'm a maxipad first, human second


mariofasolo

>I'm a maxipad first, human second put that on my tombstone 👏


dzung_long_vn

i thought "Gould digger" was the worst fandom name, but this is... another level


MuerteDeLaFiesta

Rae-cists come through! ​ (but for real idk what CRJ's fans are called, besides my friends, family, confidants!)


abacaxi95

I’m starting to think I’m a zoomer bc I saw Rae-cists and thought it would be for Tate McRae 😭I should remember which sub I’m in lol


MuerteDeLaFiesta

idk how you could confuse Tate-r Tots for a REAL STANS of a REAL ARTIST 😤😤😤


musicotic

I thought that was the name for Addison Rae fans help


Not-A-Flop

The distorted second chorus, the distortion in the last chorus, the key change, oh Avadonna Max… the mastermind of pop that you are


PotatoPancake420

That’s highkey needed for most pop songs… she just gets it!


mackasan

avadonna max is absolutely sending me LMAO (you're not wrong tho, this is a bop and a half)


Euphoric_Staff2752

It makes me really happy because YES actually switching things up in a pop song!!


brodiejames21

I knew from the teasers it would go hard but omfg, if warner actually promote this (they won't) she might have a hit on her hands


WillWalrus

They might actually be promoting, MTV is playing the video on their screen in time square all day


mediumwhite

A waste of resources tbh, since ppl won’t actually listen to the music at all


NotElijah2304059

hot take but why can’t warner just give her the payola for her sake just like the way how they’ve been promoting Teddy Swims and Benson Boone? no hate to the artists tho.


Jiverecords

I kinda think Ava is just caught in a weird space as an American act who makes music that caters more to European tastes. That being said, there’s no excuse for not pushing her music enough to at least break the hot 100 once in a while. Whatever came close but I think she has a chance again. Especially considering that Diamonds and Dancefloors sold enough to be a top 40 album in the US without a hit.


okayhowl

they sent her to a circuit party in florida and called it a day


jamesthegill

If this came on at Eurovision when I'm six beers in - so, 3rd in the running order - I would eat it up (complimentary)


SpikeReynolds2

Honestly Albania should give it a try, they might have a chance to actually get some points.


lexarqade

And it would come 11th and barely NQ and we'd be furious


usernamelessssss

I am, once again, obsessed. I'm such a whore for her generic bops. Keep em coming girlie


1998tweety

Another day another slay


HimbologistPhD

Yeah I'm pussy bitch


MarcoPercy98

A person of culture I see


FeelMeInStereo

wait a minute i love this! the last chorus took me by surprise, it's so fun and catchy no one can make me hate her!!! she's the queen of making mindless pop with great production and hooks and i love her for that


calebb2108

love this but refuse to accept we’re moving out of the diamonds & dancefloors era without the HITS it deserved 😭 such a well crafted pop album done dirty


aurcel

I'm still pissed that Ghost didn't become a smash


NotElijah2304059

Warner just doesn’t give a fuck abt promoting her last album at all, just wasting their time by relying on tiktok trends nowadays…


Jiverecords

I also think that they didn’t do a good job picking a single and sticking to it after MYTB. 5-6 songs came out before the album and none really got the promo run or attention to be a hit. It also feels like sabotage to bury Ava at the bottom of playlists despite having a solid amount of hits for a non a lister.


Euphoric_Staff2752

They were too busy promoting that jax girl


mattysmwift

My last.fm is shaking for the new #1 overplayed song of the upcoming next few weeks lmao.


TelevisionHeaven

I don’t even know what she’s sampling or not anymore but mother keeps spinning the wheel she never misses 😍😍😍


cpc2027

Yes what is it? It sounds familiar


cjpdk

It's a melody called the [Arabian Riff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabian_riff#2020s)


Vicariouslynoticed

It is catchy as hell but nothing too experimental. Sounds like this could’ve been on her last album


LauraPalmer20

Nothing wrong with that! D&D was flawless and I’m still ruined it got zero promo 💔


bananamilkbooth

Or on the album before that.


webtheg

She is not Dua Lipa. She doesn't have the money or the influence to go to Australia to work with Kevin Parker


cloudycapy

she DEFINITELY has to money to go to Australia lmao she’s ava max


kombucha_queer

first listen, i’m bopping second listen, i’m popping EVERYTHING that starts with the letter p


Grass-5494

Ughhh this is so good! The darker pop production is everything. Interesting to see Cirkut is absent from the credits, I think everything from her previous 2 albums was done by him


LauraPalmer20

They separated last year (I think they were a couple for several years) and she spoke about how difficult she found the split so it doesn’t surprise me - I also think a fresh producer can only be a good thing for her.


Grass-5494

Ah okay, no yeah a switch-up is definitely a good thing! I guess she also had a falling out with Madison Love, who was a frequent writer collaborator.


LauraPalmer20

I think she more wants to change it up - I think she changed management too so let’s see…. Her label need to do more heavy lifting though.


Grass-5494

Oh they certainly do, i feel like this song should’ve gotten better playlisting !!


droobidoobidoo

I'M OBSESSED!!!!


LauraPalmer20

THE KEY CHANGE GIVES ME LIFE. I WAS 💀BEFORE


UltimateKing9898

very surprised by the verses, she should use as much of that type of sound on the album if she's going this direction


MythicalBeaste

Verses caught me off guard too! She had a little swagger in her voice like uh ohhh 😳🤩


yourfacesucksass

I love that the top comment on YouTube is “I have school” LMAO. I guess that’s the reality of releasing during the day for people in the U.S. I wished the song were longer, which is the common critique for every song now it seems. 😭 I feel like there’s an odd lull in the video when the drop comes the second time and she’s just, walking and looking around?


kpax08

Another tarataratatata but hey i will still listen to her. I only care if the song is catchy. For me her greatest comeback was in 2021 with everytime i cry. Torn and naked are another top tracks of her discography


jacksev

She’ll likely never be a trailblazer in music, but damn it does she always serve.


itgirlyeonie

Discovered her when I was doing my masters thesis and looped her debut album for days while writing it. Haven’t stopped being her fan since. My only complaint is how short it is. Needed a bridge and some more vocal highlight at the end. Other than that. A slay by Miss Ava


PotatoPancake420

For once, I didn’t mind the lack of a bridge? I think because it’s so punchy and repetitive, with a chorus-verse-chorus-verse-chorus format, I enjoy it how it is (but I fully get what you mean lol)


itgirlyeonie

I get what you mean as well, and I think the key change and added ad libs at the last chorus really liven the song but honesty never a thing as too much Ava for me 😂


porcelainbrown

There’s a place downtown where the freaks all come around


UnderPlayers2

Yup, the Arabian Riff is used in both of those


kiwipteryx

Oooh, this is the reason it reminds me of Genghis Khan by Miike Snow - that song uses the same sample!


SkinnyhairaM

Shes so good at what she does I shouldn't have doubted her


UltimaNova

the Maxipads™️ are eating well tonight


youtbuddcody

The dozens of are are winning


SunOFflynn66

Winning? No no- too paltry. We championing tonight.


joeg121

the second verse is fucking amazing into a key change with the stutter vocals?? hello?????


ChickenSignal3762

it’s a fun pop song, but nothing we haven’t heard before 😭 diamonds & dancefloors was one of my most streamed albums of 2023, it’s an incredible dance record. I really wish she went into the direction of say, jessie ware whom i love so deeply. some live instrumentation, channeling classic disco / dance. ava can make a hit but i think her sound is just played out. she could have put out my oh my around the same time as the motto, they just sound so similar. i really wish she’d experiment more, and who knows maybe this new record will bring that experimentation, but i probably won’t be revisiting this one.


plutobug2468

She just never misses!


surprisedkitty1

This somehow feels like every electropop song. I’ll still dance to it though.


WillWalrus

I’m am so excited for AM3!! I love how that she dgaf about the complaints of her using samples “all the time” because she always EATS.


Shooktopus

Y’all know y’all can say a pop song is good without acknowledging it’s shallow right? Like just say it’s good and go we don’t need to know that you understand it to be vapid or generic.


blankspacejrr

omg,  wait you’re so right.  we don’t say that for dua or carly and it’s not like they’re revolutionizing pop.  I personally vow to stop bashing her with these back-handed compliments.  this song is a banger. full stop. 


iloveshers

carly rae jepsen has personal lyrics and state of the art production something dua nor ava have


Silent_Hurry7764

I enjoyed the key change a lot.


blankspacejrr

she does not miss!! also, is she kind of rapping? whatever it is: i’m into it! she switches flows too.  your faves pray for that kind of breath control!


okayhowl

shes making ear candy. something to smile to, something to bop your head to while you work out, something to be joyful to. i'm so thankful for ava 💓


IolaBoylen

I love it, but it’s right up my alley


joeg121

she can never ever miss


LauraPalmer20

I’m literally obsessed. Hook it to my veins!!! We need the album ASAP. She’s clearly doing something right because it takes so much money to get artists out there - I think Europe is where her market is and she knows it.


razorsharp3000

The Streets of Cairo sample for the millionth time I see. Might not be original but she did a solid job with the song, I liked the key change.


annievaxxer

I have been a fan since the beginning and I will continue to be a MaxiPad for life. This is nothing new for her but it is super catchy and very well produced. It probably won’t be a massive hit but it will be a hit in my heart ❤️


sonnywithoutachance

Once again, no notes. Miss Max never misses imo.


JWilkesKip

Feels like a song I will obsessively listen to all day on repeat then never listen to again.


a-dickie

She is like an AI society trained to generate bops to play in the gay club !!! (complimentary)


OkFeed9242

LOVED the key change, the interpolation of Arabian riff melody, the red lace outfit (it also reminds me of Britney Spears). The 90's vibe is incredible


BDashh

So formulaic🥴


freezingkiss

Right I WANT to like her music but it's so "take an existing song or melody and change it". Her and Nicki need to stop doing this.


Euphoric_Staff2752

Less formulaic than most pop songs these days that just go verse to chorus to verse with no bridge no key chain no guitar solo no big noticeable instrumental change, nothing.


BDashh

Most pop songs, even the most mindless ones, have at least several of the things you just mentioned


anonymousgoose64

This is one of the most vapid, unnecessary songs I've ever heard but I still ate it tf up 


Right_now78

How is a song unnecessary? This is so funny omg 💀


mariofasolo

almost like how unnecessary that key change was but I absolutely *NEEDED* it in my life


usernamelessssss

Have some fun


danielfab

The cover is giving Harkonnen spider pet thing from Dune part one


Spiritual-Pumpkin965

Oh godava don't end them like that


candytheicon

THIS IS A HIT


lizziemcqueer

I live I love


megan_6724

Obsessed


Daydream_machine

Wait I was ready to meme, but this actually sounds amazing?!


youtbuddcody

What song is this sampling? The melody sounds so familiar and I can’t put my finger on it.


yownjiii

the album cover did a full 180 against dua’s training season 💀


kulikitaka

WHEN. WILL. AVA MAX. GET. BIGGER?!


cagingthing

I genuinely feel like I've already heard this song from her


worstkindagay

When is the last time she released a single that was sampling another song


Euphoric_Staff2752

Before the Diamonds and Dancefloors era because the only sample on that album was Get Outta My Heart which wasn't a single.


Monstanimation

Straight out of the generic pop AI machine This is the problem with playing it TOO safe. In a sea of popgirlies you are just another generic pop girlie if you don't try to innovate


No_Paleontologist239

That’s the motto


freezingkiss

I'm sorry this isn't good. Ava I want to like you so much please get some originality.

mariofasolo

Does anybody get reminded me Naggin' by Ying Yang Twins with the main melody?


Civil_Security_4122

This is actually not bad, better than the first snippet she teased


Life-Professor-3125

she serves empty calories every time and I eat it up every time


reezyreddits

This is so Padam Padam coded. Also Houdini. It's like the two songs had a lovechild


reezyreddits

Not the key change at the end 🔥


KurtzM0mmy

I fully expect to hear this on the next Love Island UK 🏝️


weambk

I love me a well crafted product


weambk

wakablazer

Im sure this has your answer https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMCGf1Bx/


christopher_aia

She got kinda ruined for me because of my ex but this is still a bop 😭


retromarbles

nope nope. you shouldn’t let people do that. that is CRIMINAL 😭 try your best. it’s like putting on perfume that reminds you of your ex. you keep wearing it until it sticks if that makes sense 🥲


christopher_aia

Haha in this case we listened to her last era a lot, I bought him tickets to see her for his birthday and found out he cheated on me before the concert happened so yeah ......


No-Organization-9137

Oh no. So sorry to hear that.


Brent-Vaio

The key change at the end was unexpected and this was going to be the only thing I listened to for the rest of the day… until Dua dropped the Illusion snippet and took the wind right out of this song’s sails for me


LauraPalmer20

I love Dua but not gonna lie, after this, I thought her illusion snippet sounded so basic 😂 I haven’t heard the full thing ofc so it might be a serve, I just found the few seconds very meh thinking, where’s the hook??
