Pop sensation Ava Max has officially embraced the holiday spirit with her latest release, “1 Wish.” The upbeat and heartwarming track first premiered on October 31, 2023, perfectly timed to add festive flair to playlists worldwide during the holiday season. Known for her infectious pop hits like “Sweet but Psycho” and “Kings & Queens,” Ava Max continues to showcase her versatility and ability to connect with listeners on a personal level.
“1 Wish” combines Ava’s signature powerhouse vocals with shimmering production elements, creating a song steeped in modern nostalgia. The lyrics revolve around a heartfelt holiday wish: the desire for love and togetherness during this special time of year. Fans have praised the song’s catchy melody and poignant message, calling it the ideal addition to their holiday traditions.
The timing of this release couldn’t be more perfect, arriving as Ava rides high on the success of her album “Diamonds & Dancefloors,” which has solidified her status as one of pop’s leading figures. “1 Wish” showcases a softer side of the artist, blending holiday charm with her signature sound. Ava herself has said, “We give it out to all our closest friends and family,” referring to her family’s tradition of sharing special treats during Christmas.
Fans can stream “1 Wish” on all major music platforms. The accompanying lyric video is now accessible on Ava Max’s official YouTube channel, featuring twinkling lights and snowy landscapes, perfectly reflecting the song’s festive vibe. The song marks Ava’s first release since her collaboration with Tiesto on their song 'The Motto.' With the holiday season reaching its peak, Ava Max’s “1 Wish” is poised to become the standout anthem for celebrations around the globe.
This festive release ties seamlessly with Ava’s own holiday traditions. Every year, her mother fulfills Ava’s culinary wish by preparing baklava, the traditional delicacy the family shares with friends. “I have to learn the recipe because we got to keep the tradition going!” Ava said, reflecting on the importance of family customs. Fans often text her family asking, “Hey, is your mom doing baklava this year?” to which Ava joyfully responds, “Of course she is!”
While many might choose classic holiday flicks like “Christmas Vacation” or “Elf,” Ava’s favorite holiday movie is the 2004 comedy “Christmas with the Kranks.” She laughs as she recalls, “Somehow when I’m with my family, they always put it on—either me, my niece, or my mom, and it ends up to be every single year we’re watching 'Christmas with the Kranks.'” This annual viewing has grown to be part of her family’s holiday tradition.
When it’s time to celebrate the festive season, Ava Max’s holiday soundtrack undoubtedly includes the iconic Christmas albums from Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey. “Those two for sure, but there is a lot more!” she quipped when discussing her holiday playlist. This blend of new and classic holiday tunes fortifies Ava's connection with her fans and her roots.
“1 Wish” not only adds to Ava Max’s impressive discography but also beautifully encapsulates the warmth, joy, and togetherness this season embodies. Whether you’re decking the halls or cozying up by the fire, this heartfelt track promises to spread cheer and warmth, making it the perfect backdrop to holiday celebrations.
