NASHVILLE, TN (October 30, 2026) – Putting a clever, lovestruck twist on the classic fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Ava Liv Mabry chronicles the dizzying highs and inevitable letdowns of a twenty-something hopeless romantic with her new song “Crying Wolf,” out today via Blue Highway Records. Set against a gentle guitar melody and shimmering strings, the song captures the all-too-familiar experience of getting swept up in a new romance, daydreaming about forever and being absolutely certain you’ve found ‘the one,’ only to discover he wasn’t Prince Charming after all. Yet no matter how many times love proves her wrong, she can’t help believing the next one just might be forever.

Co-written with Jake Etheridge, Louis Johnson and Sam Tinnesz, “Crying Wolf” finds Ava pairing her signature diary-entry vulnerability with a dose of self-awareness as she confronts her own heart-on-her-sleeve innocence and knack for falling hard before the story’s even begun.
Ava’s refreshingly open perspective and magnetic charm continue to deeply connect with fans, surpassing 67 million total video views (and counting) on TikTok and Instagram. This rapid digital growth is seamlessly transferring to live venues: the promising artist packed out her debut headline concert at Nashville’s Cannery Hall over the summer and captivated new audiences while touring as support for Jenna Raine and Jenna Davis throughout the fall.
