ENHYPEN collabs with American pop star Ava Max for “Brought The Heat Back (Feat. Ava Max),” unveiled today.
“Brought The Heat Back” is a B-side track off the powerhouse band’s 2nd Studio Album ROMANCE : UNTOLD, released July 2024. Produced by the Grammy-winning producer Cirkut, this Funk/Dance Pop track lyrically explores the boys’ struggle to keep their cool while wrestling with newfound jealousy. Cirkut, who also produced the group’s hit “Bite Me” last year, infuses the track with a dynamic beat and vibrant melodic progression.
Ava Max, renowned for her global megahits “Sweet but Psycho” and “Kings & Queens,” lends her signature vocal prowess to this collaboration, adding a fresh, energetic twist to the original song. “Brought The Heat Back (Feat. Ava Max)” showcases a blend of Ava Max’s powerful vocals and ENHYPEN's sophisticated sound that highlights a captivating synergy, particularly in the second half of the song.
Released on July 12, ENHYPEN’s 2nd Studio Album ROMANCE : UNTOLD debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 124,000 units, and is now in its third week on the chart. The album also sold more than 2.3 million copies worldwide in its first week, marking the band’s highest record to date, with 1.8 million copies sold on the first day alone.
“Brought The Heat Back (Feat. Ava Max)” is available now on all streaming platforms worldwide.
