What is this trend about
The audio comes from Jake Shane, built around the line “I’m with Max”. But creators aren’t treating “Max” as one specific person they need to know.

They are turning the name into a role!
Across a few videos we tracked, “Max” becomes a roommate duo, a college best friend, a formal dance partner, and even a pet/person combination that “sums it up”.
F1’s account is the outlier, using the sound literally for Max Verstappen.

The sound leaves the name open enough for creators to make it about their own person, pet or situation.
They’re deciding who their Max is!

The formula
“I’m with Max” audio + Your version of Max + Context

You can start by thinking about who or what you’d naturally call your “Max”.
It could be your roommate, your best friend, your partner, your pet, or even your favorite character. The stronger the connection between “Max” and the situation, the more the sound feels like it belongs in your video.
