Max, who won MTV Europe’s Music Award for Best Push Artist in 2019, has entered the music industry with her famous 2018 single, “Sweet but Psycho.” Since then, she has collaborated with prominent artists like Alan Walker, Jason Derulo, and Pablo Alborán. “Who’s Laughing Now” centers around a protagonist who was hurt by her abusive partner. Max sings that before meeting her ex-lover, she “never felt the words like a razor.” She reflects that “where there’s only love,” there is “never anger.” Max continues, “So lonely in your bed / Does breakin’ me make you feel good? / Guess you don’t understand / What goes around, comes around.”
