"Spot a Fake" is a song by American singer Ava Max. It was released on September 20, 2024, through Atlantic Records as the first single from her upcoming third studio album.

Background and release

On July 2, 2024, Max posted a snippet of "Spot a Fake" on her social media. On September 13, she announced the single's release date, followed by the reveal of the single's cover art, which pays homage to the 2012 film Moonrise Kingdom, three days later. Max stated the song and video tell a “story of betrayal and broken girl code” that were “inspired by moments that shook her inner circle". In a promotional teaser video, it depicts a friend raising a knife behind Max's back, which fans speculate represented her former collaborator Madison Love. It was released for digital download and streaming on September 20. It was written by Max, LØLØ, Salem Ilese, and its producer Grand Boutin.
