Ava Max has kicked off 2026 with a new single, KiLL iT QUEEN, positioning it as the first step in her next chapter. The track arrived ahead of the weekend and was introduced as the opening to a new era for the pop singer.
The release follows a busy stretch after her third studio album, Dont Click Play, which came out last year. Around that time, a tour was announced and then later canceled, with no further update shared alongside this new single.
KiLL iT QUEEN leans into the bold, self assured pop lane Max is known for, built around big hooks and a confident vocal delivery. The songwriting centers on self belief and swagger, in line with the empowerment themes that have shown up across her catalog.
There is no official music video attached to the single yet. Instead, the song launched with a lyrics video featuring short, stylized visuals.
