“Who’s Laughing Now” by Ava Max
On Ava Max’s “Who’s Laughing Now”, the narrator who initially admits being hurt by an acquaintance’s actions makes a U-turn as she puts an end to the relationship while gaining control of herself.
As can be seen in the preliminary verses, she is baffled at the treatment she receives from the person. Apparently, this person seems to gain satisfaction from seeing her in tears and weak.
She mentions being clothed in all black to signify that she has ended the relationship and will no longer feel weak for their sake. Now that she is moving on, she feels stronger and is in a better position to ridicule this person who tried to hurt her.
Did Ava Max write this song?
Yes. But she received help from the following co-writers:
- Cirkut
- N. Bao
- M. Wrendenberg
- M. Love
- Lotus IV
“Who’s Laughing Now” also contains production from its co-writers Cirkut and Lotus.
On July 30th, 2020, Max released this (via Atlantic Records) as a certified single from her famous “Heaven & Hell” album (which is actually her debut studio project). The track was actually the sixth single to precede the album.
Below are the album’s first five singles that preceded this one:
- “Sweet but Psycho“

Ava said it’s a song to her haters….
aww, why do people hate her?
I don’t know and why should they? She’s better than all of them they probably can’t sing how she can and those stupid bully’s they should suffer listening to “who’s laughing now” I feel bad even homeschooling 😫
Slay queen
This is fire, Ava totally slayed it, but what does “Never knew the sting of a stranger
Never felt the words like a razor
but I wont give a damn ’bout it later
All the little digs doesn’t matter
Writing down a brand new chaptter
where there’s only love, never anger” means? (I do get the last parts.)
