"Maybe You're the Problem" is a song by American singer and songwriter Ava Max from her second studio album, Diamonds & Dancefloors (2023). The song was written by Max, Abraham Dertner, Cirkut, Jonas Jeberg, Marcus Lomax and Sean Douglas, and produced by Cirkut, Dertner and Jeberg. It was released as the lead single from the album for digital download and streaming by Atlantic in various countries on April 28, 2022. Blending dance, dance-pop, dance-rock, pop and synth-pop music, the song depicts Max's ex as a toxic individual unwilling to accept any form of commitment placing blame on others while absolving himself. Upon release, it garnered a positive reception from music critics for its music, lyrics and Max's vocal rendition, with various critics highlighting it as a standout on the album.

"Maybe You're the Problem" charted at number 17 on the US Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs ranking, reaching the top 30 on the Adult Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40 charts. Peaking at number one in Hungary, the song entered the top 15 in Argentina, Bolivia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Panama, Poland and Slovakia. It received a gold certification from the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry (ZPAV). An accompanying music video premiered on Max's YouTube channel on April 28, depicting her sunbathing in the snow, transforming into an arcade video game character and going skiing. For further promotion, the singer delivered a performance at the Los 40 Music Awards in Spain on November 4, winning the Best Video category award.

Background and composition

[edit]

Early in 2022, Max underwent a notable image change by altering her signature "Max cut" and adopting red hairstyle, prompting speculation about a potential shift in her artistic direction.[2][3] During the Billboard Women in Music event on March 2, the singer announced the upcoming release of the lead single, "Maybe You're the Problem" from her forthcoming album.[4][5] Reflecting on the creative process, she detailed her dedication to crafting the album throughout the entirety of 2021, a period she described as "the most challenging year" of her life.[4] Max acknowledged a sense of concern as her recent work embraced heightened "vulnerability" encapsulated by her observation that "Everyone always says 'it's not you, it's me,' but sometimes the problem really isn't me, it's you."[5][6] On April 14, the singer revealed the cover art of the single across various social media channels, coinciding with the publication of its release date set for April 28.[7] Atlantic released it for digital download and streaming on the specified date as the lead single of Max's second studio album Diamonds & Dancefloors (2023).[8][6]

"Maybe You're the Problem" was written by Max (Amanda Ava Koci), Abraham Dertner, Cirkut (Henry Walter), Jonas Jeberg, Marcus Lomax and Sean Douglas, and produced by Cirkut, Dertner and Jeberg.[9] With an upbeat, rock-tinged sound reminiscent of the 1980s,[10][11] the song blends dance,[12] dance-pop,[6] dance-rock, pop, synth-pop and new wave genres.[13][14][15][16] The vocal delivery of Max spans from the low note of F♯3 to the high note of A5, with a tempo ranging between 160 and 168 beats per minute.[17] Set in the key of A major, the song adheres to a 4/4 time signature and maintains a chord progression of N.C–Bm-E/B-A-Dmaj throughout.[17] Discussing the song, Max disclosed that its creation unfolded in the aftermath of experiencing two break-ups within the preceding three years.[18] The lyrics delves into a profound realization concerning her partner's consistent evasion of taking accountability for his behavior, depicting him as a toxic individual unwilling to accept any form of commitment placing blame on others while absolving himself.[18][15]

Critical reception

[edit]

Upon release, "Maybe You're the Problem" garnered a positive reception from music critics. Shaad D'Souza for Paper complimented the song as another "bop" from Max, applauding it as a "blast" that accelerates from "0 to 100" in mere seconds.[19] A critic of Energy emphasised her career growth, articulating that she once again "surpassed herself" in her artistic career.[20] Reviewing Diamonds & Dancefloors, Ella West from Rollacoaster delved into Max's artistic progression, highlighting the culmination of her pursuit in the development of the album, leading to the creation of the "pulsating" song.[21] Grace Twomey for Renowned for Sound identified the song as an "obvious" standout with parallels to Canadian singer the Weeknd's single "Blinding Lights" (2019), commending the "infectious chorus" of the song that delivers an "empowering" message.[22] Sam Franzini of The Line of Best Fit described the song as a "playful jab at a breakup", underscoring the "deliriously catchy" appeal of its chorus.[23]

Nick Levine from NME labeled the song as a "bop" and praised its "plainspoken" lyrics, conveying a sentiment that, despite its perceived quality, the song may not have received the commercial recognition it deserved in the United Kingdom.[24] Madison Murray for The Honey Pop lauded the song as a strong contender for "Song-of-the-Summer" and a "total bop", deeming it a "perfect choice" for a lead single that will leave a lasting impression on listeners.[25] According to a critic of Women InPop, the song retained its "intoxicating" allure and the recognition as one of the potentially "most underrated songs of 2022", also complimenting the song's "addictive" beats and lyrics that contains a sense of "empowerment".[26] Jordi Bardají from Jenesaispop remarked that the song, drawing influence by "Blinding Lights" and English-Albanian singer Dua Lipa's single "Physical" (2020), initially lacked distinction.[27] In retrospect, Bardají observed that it fell short of achieving the impact of Max's previous hits, "Sweet but Psycho" (2018) or "Kings & Queens" (2020), despite maintaining notable streaming numbers.[27]

Commercial performance

[edit]

"Maybe You're the Problem" attained number 17 on the US Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs ranking in the issue dated February 11, 2023, entering the top 30 on the Adult Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40 charts.[28][29][30] Peaking at number one in Hungary,[31] the song reached the top 15 in Argentina,[32] Bolivia,[33] Croatia,[34] the Czech Republic,[35] Panama, Poland and Slovakia.[36][37][38] Other top 100 positions were achieved in Austria,[39] the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS),[40] the Flanders region of Belgium,[41] Germany,[42] the Netherlands,[43] Norway,[44] Sweden, the United Kingdom and Venezuela.[45][46][47] It also entered the airplay rankings at number 11 in Spain, at number 48 in France and at number 50 in Finland.[48][49][50] In February 2022, the song received a gold certification from the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry (ZPAV) for shifting more than 25,000 units in Poland.[51] In 2022, "Maybe You're the Problem" made appearances on the year-end lists of the Flanders region of Belgium,[52] CIS,[53] Croatia, Hungary and Poland.[54][55][56] Furthermore, Billboard included the song in its annual compilation of the top Hot Dance/Electronic songs for 2023.[57]
