Global pop sensation Ava Max has tagged K-Pop superstars NCT 127 for a brand new version of her current single. “So Am I (Feat. NCT 127)” is available now at all DSPs and streaming services.

Ava recently lit up the stage playing radio shows and summer concerts across North America and this past weekend, made her much-anticipated World Pride debut, embracing the message of “So Am I” which Billboard called “a defiant fight song for all the ‘misfits’ in the world,” as she celebrated with fans performing at Youth Pride and headlining the PrideFestival Tea Dance in New York City.
Recently profiled by Rolling Stone as an “Artist You Need to Know,” Ava has cemented her pop status with the success of her RIAA platinum certified hit “Sweet but Psycho” which spent three weeks in the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 and peaked at #3 at USA Pop Radio. With over 650 million global streams and counting, “Sweet but Psycho,” which earned Max her first-ever Teen Choice Awards nomination for “Choice Pop Song,” is joined by an equally popular companion video, directed by Shomi Patwary (Beyoncé, The Weeknd).

Produced by GRAMMY® Award-nominated super-producer Cirkut (Maroon 5, Miley Cyrus, The Weeknd) and co-written with Madison Love (Camila Cabello), “Psycho” hit #1 on both Spotify’s “United States Viral 50” and Billboard’s “Dance Club Songs.” The stateside success of “Sweet But Psycho,” including top 5 airplay at Hot AC radio outlets nationwide, follows the track’s remarkable popularity abroad, including four consecutive weeks atop the UK Singles Chart and #1 rankings on charts in nearly 20 countries.
