Ava Max’s Halloween Party in DJ Mode

Playlist cover

To celebrate Halloween 2023, Ava Max paired with Amazon Music to curate a Halloween “DJ Mix”, while also sharing tidbits about her career. The songs were those that related to Halloween as well as some songs from her own discography. The playlist was only available the month of October and was removed on November 1st, 2023.

## Trivia

* She shared she was in the works on her third album, AM3.
* She rarely performs the song Torn live because it reminds of her time where she felt torn in her life, personally and career-wise.
* During Halloween, Ava loves the haunted hayride. She’s done it every year for 11 years. She also says that every time she “screams like a little baby” and she loses her voice, so she can’t perform for a week after Halloween.
* Her song, Take You to Hell was inspired by Halloween, dating and trying to tell a guy in a nice way that if you don’t treat her right, she will take you to hell.
* Ava dressed up as Harley Quinn for Halloween the previous year. She stated that she loved it because she felt like a part of her felt like Harley. A little but crazy and kinda easy to just decide to be her. It felt natural for her to be there. She recalls it did take awhile for her to finish the costume as the makeup, outfit and the tattoos were a lot.
* Max loves to dress up, and she does it on stage a lot but Halloween is a different level of dressing up. She recalls one of her favorite costume was a dead zombie bride when she was five. It’s always dead or blood so she was always been psycho even when she was little.
* Max describes Dancing's Done as one of her favorites, because it describes someone in a really romantic relationship and you’re out dancing and you want to go home with that special person under the stars. That’s all you’re thinking about on the dance floor and you’re not thinking of anyone else but them.
* Max describes her Last Night On Earth as wanting to be with a special person and just stay there under the stars. Or party, it’s whatever you want to do but you just need to be with them.
* She stayed in a house in Malibu which was haunted and it was crazy. Even when they tried to fix it, when she was alone, [the ghosts] would go crazy. Even with people over, they would ask what was going on because it was so bizarre
* She describes Weapons as having an incredible message. It’s about knowing how words carries weight and knowing we are all guilty of this. We sometimes speak before we think and it can be hurtful and she made the sing as a reminder to use your words carefully, because sometimes it can hurt more than a punch and it lasts forever. It can be damaging. Words can be like weapons.
* Max talks about Cold As Ice as a “pretty hot” song. She felt very “Britney” while making the song, and also especially feels like her while performing on stage.
* Max describes Belladonna as one of her favorites because it’s another one of her “hot” songs. It’s inspired by the belladonna plant, a poisonous plant so it’s, “like to not get near them and then like it and be with them forever”.
* Max said she’s never seen a ghost before but she has heard them and she always runs away and hides. She’s hears footsteps around when she’s home and it was very scary.
* Max reveals her favorite Halloween movie is Hocus Pocus
