Ah "stage five clinger" makes much more sense than what I thought it was. Yeah I noticed the way Avril pronounced "me" as well but hasn't she kind of always pronounced it like that? At least probably since TBDT era. At this point I've gotten used to her pronouncing words oddly (the whole BST and AL Tour). I wish she hadn't done it that way but at the same time I think it's part of her Canadian accent and it's very Avril. The way she says "You creep" is also very Avril to me so I don't mind that part. I agree this sounds more like something Avril would authentically record herself and that she had more fun doing this than HTNGU or RNR. I wonder if Nick will ever invite her to sing it onstage with him.

I think it's okay. It's not like I love it right thaaaat much and over the top but it's also not so bad that I don't want to ever hear it again.

The first time I don't feel even slightly excited hearing new music from Avril. It isn't her song but still...

It's not saying goodbye that's hard. It's letting go.

You might recall the exact same thing happened with Fly. When we first heard it everyone thought it was the greatest thing ever, now we're all meh. It happens with EVERY new song she puts out. I think this is the point here - Fly wasn't a good song. I wouldn't say that it is a bad song, just a mediocre one. The production isn't all that good and the lyrics aren't what you'd call great. But in general, it's a fine song. Not bad, but not great either.

It literally sounds like something a teenage girl would sing, the verses are beyond awful

Finally got to listen to the full version of the song. I think I like it a lot! It's a fun and an extremely catchy song, even though the lyrics are kind of childish and very poorly written. The production isn't bad either. I'll be definitely listening to it in the following weeks

I dunno what your guys' standard or definition of "good". But at least I see Avril wants to improve her music in this song. If you want me to compare this with RNR, I would choose this coz the message is something you can grow on and apply in your life

It's so annoying that even though I don't like it much I can't help but listen to it every now and then.

sigh, y'all realize she had nothing to do with the song other than bringing her energy and voice to it...... this is nothing what her 6th record is going to be like she didn't TOUCH the song other than to sing on it.
I'm surprised there's so many people overreacting to how "bad" the song is when it has guitars in it. Something that was lacking and that people complained about for her 5th record (other than Bad Girl). Even though I agree...any song off her 5th record was made better than this song, it isn't THAT bad. And I'm digging the vocals Avril put on it. It's fun.

I kind of thought that Avril's vocals in this song are a little reminiscent of her vocals in Smile. And I don't think Avril sings backup until the second chorus. The first chorus sounds like Nick is doing all the backup and Avril joins after her verse. And I agree with those who have already said that the song should've have been more of a duet. The song just needed to give more emphasis on Avril during the chorus for balance. I checked out the backing vocal version, because I heard the same you say and I wanted to know the truth. And we're right. After Avril's part, she makes most of the backing vocals, and they're crazy! Maybe the song is not really good (tbh I like it), but Avril's and Nick's voice sounds really really great together. Edit: my lyrics video and edited picture... the lyrics were by ear (and some help from here) before the official came out so there are some mistakes, but... Do you have the backing vocals version please? I'd live to hear! Also, about her pronunciation.. She always put some emphasis on some letters here and there. She always does & she always did. But i loooove it! That's what makes Avril Lavigne different as a singer, unique. I adore when she does that, in fact. To the point where i sometimes do that too, because it sounds so perfect aha. IMO, that's like her singing signature. This is a part of what got me into her music that much too, her pronunciation. But i don't think it has any links with the canadian accents. I'm canadian personally, and although i'm not a native english speaker (i'm french), i never heard anyone speaking English with such a word/letters emphasis pronouncination the way she does. And God knows i travelled lots & lots lmao. I think this is due to her self-confidence. I don't know, all i can feel when she does that word emphasis thing is her confidence all around the place. Anyway! you must have found the whole thing hardcore in the UMS era guys x).. It was even worse than it is now.
