Ava Max enters 2025 with a powerful message wrapped in an infectious beat. Following her festive single “1 Wish,” the pop sensation returns with “Lost Your Faith,” a driving anthem that blends emotional vulnerability with dance-pop energy. Channeling both heartache and resilience, the track marks the beginning of a new era in Max’s musical journey as she preps for her third studio album.
“Lost Your Faith” taps into the zeitgeist with its relatable breakup narrative, capturing the painful realization that a lover’s devotion has slowly crumbled. What begins with a nod to 1980s rock, evoking the timeless energy of Bon Jovi, quickly evolves into an electronic dance-pop chorus that propels the song into uplifting territory. Despite the emotional turmoil, there’s an undercurrent of hope that pulses throughout the track. Max herself describes the song as a message of self-empowerment, one that reflects resilience amid personal loss. “Somewhere in the wreckage, you realize you’re still standing,” she says, adding that this is a story of emerging stronger and more certain of one’s light.
This marks a slight shift in Max’s sound, building on the foundation laid with hits like “Kings & Queens” and more recent singles such as “My Oh My” and “Spot A Fake.” “Lost Your Faith” is a seamless continuation of the sound she’s built, while also pushing her artistry forward. With this single, Max sets the tone for what promises to be an exciting follow-up to 2023’s Diamonds & Dancefloors.
As Ava Max continues to carve her place in the pop landscape, “Lost Your Faith” serves as both a poignant reflection on the human experience and a reminder that music can be a source of strength. Expect this track to be the first of many more moments to come from Max as she prepares to release her next album.
