Whatever (Kygo and Ava Max song)

The tropical house song was written by both artists alongside Cleo Tighe, Jonah Shy, Petey Martin and Rollo.

In early January 2024, Kygo and Max posted snippets of an upcoming collaboration on their social media accounts.

Jason Heffler from EDM.com called the song an "infectious cover" and "a saccharine anthem that will soon dominate dance radio".

[7] Marius Ásp from Verdens Gang also criticized the interpolation, describing it as "lazy and uninspired"; he gave the song a 2 out of 5.

After the first chorus, reflective blue gems start floating around the singer, who is now wearing a black dress with a necklace containing three crosses.
