Rock fans from the 2000s were ecstatic when Lavigne released Bite Me in November 2021. The hit single was the first song the star has released since 2019, marking a comeback for the 37-year-old. Although the singer is renowned for being the princess of rock music, her previous album, Head Above Water, was drenched in jazz influences. Going forward, she's fighting to play the music from her roots.
Lavigne's upcoming seventh studio album (which does not yet have a title) has already been promised to have as much Bite as her first single. And in her latest thrilling interview she teased what is to come, revealing: "I'm really stoked about the new music and just in such a good place. We're all having so much fun.
"I really went back to what sounds I originally was influenced by at the beginning of my career. To the core, I'm a kid from a small town who listened to bands like Blink-182 and Green Day and NOFX in high school, and I tapped into that."

Lavigne explained: "There's always a fine line when you have a label involved and they're talking to you about what radio wants and doesn't want, so it gets really annoying. I was just like: 'F**k this.' Back to live drums, electric distorted guitars. It's fast. It's fun. It's just pure rock and roll from front to back."
The Canadian singer noted that in her early career she started out with some power ballads, including I'm With You and Keep Holding On. But she added that it "was time" to move on to more energetic styles of music.

Lavigne said: "This time I just wanted to have fun and rock out. It just felt like it was time to make this type of an album."
On her inspiration behind her upcoming record, she confessed: "I was just like: 'Let's make a pop-punk record.' We used live guitars and live drums and didn't hold back, and just got to do exactly what I wanted and what I feel like I've probably wanted to do for a long time." The singer also explained that the album includes a lot of "reflection on different relationships".
