The music video begins with a grayscale scene of a man kissing a woman outside an apartment as Max walks by in disgust. Cinematic black bars crop the image and the setting shifts to a brightly lit mansion. Max walks down a spiral staircase, wearing an orange jacket and black crop top; she has mascara streaks on her eyes.[14] A piece of clothing is ripped by Max, and she invites the man by SMS to have dinner with her. Max then picks up a baseball bat, throws darts at a board with his face on the bullseye, drinks a glass of red wine, and smokes a cigarette.[52][53] The man later arrives at the mansion, where Max (now in a skin-tight latex outfit) grabs him by the hand and leads him up the staircase to a banquet. A red-haired Max slices a turkey, which the man eats. She then pours the red wine into his cup, with it changing to green. The man drinks the wine and immediately hallucinates as Max throws a kitchen knife at him, followed by him running down the staircase in horror. Max, wearing a wedding dress, dances alongside a bed containing the man, who has become comatose. She paints red splotches on an easel and shakes his head. In a flashing sequence, Max stands on the staircase, waves an axe, rips a photograph of the man, and rolls his unconscious head.[52][53] In another scene, he escapes into Max's wardrobe as she smears his shirtless body with blood. In the wardrobe, a mutilated corpse falls out in front of the man. Sequences of Max with the unconscious man are shown; she pours gasoline on him then sets the room alight.
Amanda Ava Koci is a singer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin who performs under the name of Ava Max. The daughter of Albanian immigrants, Max is blessed with with a vibrant voice passed down by her opera singer mother. After first being introduced on American electronic musician Le Youth's "Clap Your Hands" in 2017, she released her debut single, "My Way," the following year which was moderately successful in East Europe. This catchy pop song is Max's third single. The song is about a dangerous girl who makes guys come back for seconds despite being totally deranged. Oh, she's sweet but a psycho A little bit psycho At night she's screamin' "I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind Max told The Idolator that she identifies with the girl she's singing about because like her, she has many different sides. "It's basically about a girl who's not afraid to show all of her sides and her dualities, and about a guy loving all those sides," the songstress explained. "She's a girl who's misunderstood in the relationship, and she's basically being told she's psycho and she's out of her mind when she's feeling it, but really she's an outspoken girl and she's speaking her mind. And that's how I am in real life." Ava Max co-wrote the song with Madison Love (G-Eazy & Halsey's "Him & I," Camila Cabello's "In the Dark"). It was produced by Canadian songwriter Cirkut, who is known for working with Katy Perry ("Roar") and Miley Cyrus ("Wrecking Ball"). The song became Max's breakthrough hit, reaching singles charts worldwide. It climbed to #1 in several countries, including Sweden, Norway, Finland and Estonia.
