Ava Della Pietra’s new single “2 can play” tells a story about someone deciding to push back after being emotionally misled. The lyrics explore themes of betrayal, blurred boundaries, and emotional distance, using a clear structure to move from initial hurt to quiet retaliation. The song reflects on the shift from vulnerability to control, as the narrator responds in kind to someone who played games with their trust.
“2 can play” is a mid-tempo track with a haunting tone. The production starts sparse and gradually adds tension through layered vocals, ambient textures, and rhythmic shifts that follow the arc of the lyrics. Echoes and harmonies add atmosphere without distracting from the vocal delivery. Each section builds on the last, moving the story forward while maintaining a steady emotional pace.
Ava began writing music at age ten and currently studies at the Harvard-Berklee dual program. Much of her early songwriting was developed during the pandemic while isolating with her family on Long Island. She has now written more than 150 original songs and has earned over 26 million global streams. Her work often centers on personal storytelling, relationships, and emotional clarity.
“2 can play” fits into the landscape of contemporary pop and would sit comfortably on Spotify playlists like Pop Rising, Teen Beats, Fresh Finds Pop, Young & Free, Breakup Songs, Women of Pop, and Pop Sauce. Ava shares a fan base with artists like Tate McRae, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Lauren Spencer Smith, Alexander Stewart, Mimi Webb, and Benson Boone—performers known for combining melody-driven production with personal, introspective lyrics.
