"Who's Laughing Now" is a song by American singer Ava Max, released on July 30, 2020, through Atlantic Records as the second single from her debut studio album, Heaven & Hell (2020). The song was written by Max, Madison Love, Måns Wredenberg, Noonie Bao, and producers Cirkut and Lotus IV. It is a dance-pop song with lyrics about a girl being gaslighted, and continues from Max's 2018 song "Sweet but Psycho". "Who's Laughing Now" reached number one in Poland, and charted in the top ten in eight countries. An accompanying music video was directed by Isaac Rentz and depicts Max seeking revenge on her boss and cheating boyfriend.

Composition and critical reception

"Who's Laughing Now" is a dance-pop song,{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/ava-max-in-my-room-video-1090439/|title='In My Room' With Ava Max|last=Martoccio|first=Angie|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=November 16, 2020|access-date=November 17, 2020}} which contains several minor chords.{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard-japan.com/d_news/detail/92667/2|title='ヘヴン＆ヘル' エイバ・マックス(Album Review)|trans-title='Heaven & Hell' Ava Max (Album Review)|language=ja|last=Honke|first=Issei|website=Billboard Japan|date=September 29, 2020|access-date=June 12, 2021}} Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic compared the song's island groove to artists such as Clean Bandit and Ace of Base.{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/heaven-hell-mw0003414799|title=Heaven & Hell - Ava Max|last=Yeung|first=Neil Z.|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=September 18, 2020}} It was written as a continuation from her 2018 song "Sweet but Psycho", as the lyrics both describe a misunderstood girl being gaslighted, and serve as an analogy to Max's own experiences being rejected in the music industry. She summarized the song as "basically telling everyone to just fuck off".{{cite web|url=https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/ava-max-whos-laughing-now-music-video-interview|title=Ava Max On "Who's Laughing Now" & Getting Revenge On Those Who Doubted Her|last=Wang|first=Steffanee|website=Nylon|date=July 30, 2020|access-date=July 31, 2020|archive-date=August 1, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200801104113/https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/ava-max-whos-laughing-now-music-video-interview|url-status=live}} Max stated that "Who's Laughing Now" is targeted towards females who had bullied her throughout middle school, causing her to start home-school.{{cite web|url=https://www.list.co.uk/article/119197-people-shouldnt-compare-women-ava-max-on-lady-gaga-comparisons/|title='People shouldn't compare women': Ava Max on Lady Gaga comparisons|author=Bang Showbiz|website=The List|date=September 15, 2020|access-date=September 17, 2020|archive-date=September 17, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200917141553/https://www.list.co.uk/article/119197-people-shouldnt-compare-women-ava-max-on-lady-gaga-comparisons/|url-status=live}} The song's title was envisioned after a self-discovery revelation by Max.{{cite web|url=https://www.radio.com/im-listening/ava-maxs-definition-of-success-is-about-being-authentic|title=Ava Max's Definition of Success Is All About Being Authentically You|last=Zipper|first=Marni|website=Radio.com|date=September 14, 2020|access-date=September 17, 2020|archive-date=September 17, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200917141553/https://www.radio.com/im-listening/ava-maxs-definition-of-success-is-about-being-authentic|url-status=live}}

Writing for Us Weekly, Nicholas Hautman praised the chorus of "Who's Laughing Now", indicating that it had the catchiest "don't cha" since the Pussycat Dolls song "Don't Cha" (2005).{{cite web|url=https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/ava-max-shows-promise-on-debut-album-heaven-hell-review/|title=Ava Max Shows Promise on Anthem-Filled Debut Album 'Heaven & Hell': Review|last=Hautman|first=Nicholas|website=Us Weekly|date=September 17, 2020|access-date=September 17, 2020}} However, Issy Sampson of The Guardian criticized the song for sounding similar to "Sweet but Psycho", which she described as an "irritating earworm". She added that the former used a "smug" horrible personality trait in place of "psychotic."{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/aug/14/tracks-of-the-week-reviewed-billie-eilish-ava-max-action-bronson|title=Tracks of the week reviewed: Billie Eilish, Ava Max, Action Bronson|last=Sampson|first=Issy|website=The Guardian|date=August 14, 2020|access-date=September 3, 2020|archive-date=September 4, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200904160140/https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/aug/14/tracks-of-the-week-reviewed-billie-eilish-ava-max-action-bronson|url-status=live}}

Music video

The music video was directed by Isaac Rentz and released on July 30, 2020.{{cite web|url=https://martinsvillebulletin.com/people/ava-max-to-drop-debut-album-in-september/article_d1717291-efcc-509c-96a1-fbe857338884.html|title=Ava Max to drop debut album in September|author=Celebretainment|website=Martinsville Bulletin|date=July 31, 2020|access-date=July 31, 2020|archive-date=August 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200809013534/https://martinsvillebulletin.com/people/ava-max-to-drop-debut-album-in-september/article_d1717291-efcc-509c-96a1-fbe857338884.html|url-status=live}} Max is depicted as a person seeking revenge after being fired by her boss and cheated on by her boyfriend. She is seen dancing in a destroyed office and breaking a car with a crowbar, before breaking free of a psychiatric hospital while strapped in a straitjacket.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/9427345/ava-max-whos-laughing-now-music-video|title=Ava Max Seeks Sweet But Psychotic Revenge in 'Who's Laughing Now' Music Video|last=Mamo|first=Heran|magazine=Billboard|date=July 30, 2020|access-date=July 31, 2020|archive-date=September 17, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200917141554/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/9427345/ava-max-whos-laughing-now-music-video|url-status=live}} Max wrote the video's plot, which she decided to incorporate several female characters into a corporate workforce dominated by men. One character portrayed by Max is gaslighted by a doctor into becoming "psycho", while another had musical instruments appearing from her head, which was parallel to her own negative experiences with music executives. An interactive quiz was launched as a collaboration with Spotify prior to the release of Max's debut studio album Heaven & Hell (2020). It contains 10 questions asking about personality, resulting in the choice of one of four characters portrayed in the music video; Amanda, Torrence, Carmen, and Ava.{{cite web|url=http://www.coupdemainmagazine.com/ava-max/17003|title=Quiz: Which Ava Max personality are you?|last=Riddell|first=Rose|website=Coup de Main|date=September 17, 2020|access-date=September 17, 2020|archive-date=September 17, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200917141554/http://www.coupdemainmagazine.com/ava-max/17003|url-status=live}}
