Don't Click Play is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Ava Max. It was released on August 22, 2025, through Atlantic Records. Following up to her 2023 album Diamonds & Dancefloors, the album was promoted by the release of three singles: "Lost Your Faith", "Lovin Myself" and "Wet, Hot American Dream". Development of the album began in late 2023, though an initial version was later scrapped. In the lead-up to release, Max adopted a relatively low promotional profile, with the album rollout drawing attention for its minimal activity and the cancellation of her accompanying tour.

Primarily a dance-pop and pop record, Don't Click Play incorporates themes of empowerment, online criticism, and personal growth, while also addressing long-standing comparisons to American singer Lady Gaga. Upon release, it received mixed reviews: critics praised its listenable dance-pop style but noted a lack of cohesion and innovation compared to her earlier work. Commercially, the album debuted in the top 30 in Austria, Belgium, Hungary, and Switzerland, while reaching charts in twelve countries overall.
