Ava Max pushes back against doubt on latest release “Every Time I Cry”
Ava Max’s new song “Every Time I Cry” is about how difficult it can be to drown out the voices that make hard times feel even harder. The song takes that pressure and turns it into a narrative of change, moving from an old source of doubt to a stronger sense of control. The writing gives the track an obvious emotional direction, when negative thoughts get loud, the answer is not to give in to them but to push them back.
The song was written by Caroline Pennell, Ava Max, Lauren Aquilina, Sean Myer, and Cirkut and produced by Sean Myer and Cirkut. The track’s strongest idea is the contrast between a troubling voice that used to stay close and a decision to turn it down. Every Time I Cry is less about pretending pain isn’t there and more about not letting it overtake you.
The song will be a part of Ava Max’s upcoming second album, marking its spot in the next chapter of her music. Every Time I Cry is about self-control and pressure on your emotions, making it clear that you need to face the difficult thoughts and find the strength to silence them.
