Don't Click Play is the upcoming third studio album by American singer Ava Max. It is set to be released on August 22, 2025, through Atlantic Records.[1]

Background

In 2023, Max released her second studio album Diamonds & Dancefloors and embarked on her debut headlining concert tour, On Tour (Finally). In September, she started working on her third studio album after the end of the tour.[2] On April 9, 2025, Max shared a link to a website called "Don't Click Play on Ava Max", where visitors could click a "Sign the Petition" button and listen to a snippet of an upcoming album single.[3] She announced the album on May 1,[1][4] by quoting Ed Sheeran's announcement of his upcoming eighth studio album, Play, on Twitter.[5]

Promotion

In March 2024, Max posted a snippet of her single "My Oh My" and indicated that it was the beginning of a new era.[6] The song was initially intended to be the lead single of her third studio album;[7][8] however, after the release of her single "Spot a Fake" on September 20,[9] she revealed that only the latter would be included on the album.[10]

On February 7, 2025, Max released "Lost Your Faith" as the lead single of her third studio album, indicating that "Spot a Fake" was scrapped from the album.[11][12] An accompanying music video was released on March 18, 2025.[12]
