The whole energy around it, it was so fun to make it,” she says of the album. “The album’s got a pop-punk vibe all the way through and I feel like this is a type of album I’ve wanted to make for a long time.” She continues, “My last album was very introspective and deep and this one is just rocking all the way through.

And I’m really excited to take this out and play these songs live… I feel this is my most alternative record sonically.” Lavigne explains how, as the pop music landscape shifted away from guitars and drums, she followed but eventually returned to the music she always wanted to make. “And so, with this album, I just wanted to not hold back at all and just guitars, drums, just go for it,” she says. “And so I feel like I’ve always wanted to make this record.” Lavigne also got to work with Hoppus on the new album, which for her was a special treat. “I was really excited to work with you.

I mean, to be honest, you’re one of my favourite artists,” she says. “Dude Ranch and Enema of the State, those were the records I was listening to in high school and as a teenager and I feel like they were really impactful on me as I was coming into my own musical identity.” READ MORE: Avril Lavigne Reveals She’s Turning ‘Sk8er Boi’ Into A Film Looking back on her breakout album, Lavigne says, “This year marks the 20th anniversary for my first album Let
