Ava Max Rings In July 4th Early With New Single ‘Wet, Hot American Dream'
Summer is officially in full swing, and pop singer Ava Max is wasting no time in celebrating the weather warming up as the release of her third studio album Don't Click Play looms. With the 4th of July being right around the corner, it's fitting for her latest single to be titled 'Wet, Hot American Dream.'
'Wet, Hot American Dream," like previous Don't Click Play singles 'Lost Your Faith' and 'Lovin' Myself,' was produced by PinkSlip, who was behind Katseye's recent smash hit 'Gnarly.' 'Wet, Hot American Dream," similar to much of Max's catalog, is an upbeat pop track that would fit in as well at the pool as it does at the club.
'Feels like the summer, hundred degrees / I need a drink, someone pour me up a sex on the beach / You're on vacation from out of town / I wanna put you in my pocket, let me show you around," she sings on the track. "Tell me all your dirty secrets, all your fantasies / I wanna be your blue jean, white tee, wet, hot American dream / I'm not like other cowgirls / Unless you want me to be / I wanna be your blue jean, white tee, wеt, hot American dream.'
When reflecting on the creative process behind her new album, Max admitted that she took some time to consider what she wanted it to sound like, ultimately deciding that simply opting for a cohesive pop project wasn't enough.
'[I] had time to reset and figure out what I really wanted for this next album. I didn't want to just put an album together and put it out," she told Audacy in December. "[It] has slower songs, some pop, rock, [and] country records that the fans have never heard from me. And a couple of records that I think are the best records I've ever made in my entire life, which I'm very excited about that for people to hear.'
Don't Click Play is out Aug. 22. The Don't Click Play Tour kicks off Sept. 3 in Los Angeles and wraps up Nov. 20 in Lisbon.

Red, White and Blue To-Do is back "bigger and better" in Philadelphia
We all know July 4, 1776 as Independence Day, but two days earlier, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia passed a resolution to break free from the British Empire. July 2 is the day John Adams figured would be remembered as Independence Day, calling for "pomp and parade." The Red, White and Blue To-Do honors that wish. The event was first put on in 2024 as part of a lead-up to the massive celebration coming in 2026 for America's 250th birthday. There was indeed a parade through Old City and another is set for the second annual "to-do" today in 2025. Vince Stango, COO of the National Constitution Center, said this year's Red, White and Blue To-Do is "bigger and better." It includes eight musical acts performing throughout the historic district, 13 floats and over 400 people marching. What's happening in the 2025 Red, White and Blue To-Do? The parade kicks off at the NCC at 11 a.m. and ends at 3rd Street between Walnut and Chestnut streets. Free musical performances will be happening between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. throughout Old City, with other programming planned at the historic attractions around the area between 5 and 7 p.m. Things wrap up with the Wawa Welcome America Salute to Service with the U.S. Army Field Band on Independence Mall.
