Songs like Californiyeah, Hallelujah and Rock Boyfriend have been muted on Youtube, whereas Joker, Eternally and Shut Up are still up. I think it's interesting they (DTA) decided to remove some but left others from the same sessions. Makes one wonder if this theory is as crazy as we think. While it does make sense that muting them or taking them down doesn't necessarily mean they will be released, it does seem weird they're doing if for specific songs from that same timeframe. Half-Full is from two eras ago, and owned by a different label, so it's a different case.

I’m going to hold on to the slight bit of hope left and assume that maybe “Too Young To Live, Too Fast To Die” was too long for her to type and decided to exclude it from the tweet. It’s funny but at the same time highly possible and logical knowing our lazy queen 🤣

What if Too Fast Too Live Too Young To Die is on the deluxe but she was too lazy to type the whole name so she didn’t include it on the tweet? Lmao

There’s still hope these will be included. Chances are a bit low, but we won’t know for sure until the deluxe is released. Has anyone that listened to Retrograde remember the length of the song? I hope it’s at least 3 minutes long if it’s going to be the only new song. 2:26. I also hope there's better, longer version for deluxe >.< It's so short Hopefully this is a re-worked version.

We could say the same about Avalanche, which is noticeably the most different track on the album since it’s the more serious, mid-tempo song and it still manages to fit perfectly in it. I guess the same will happen with IAM , even though being placed as track 13 or 14 will be kind of weird lol. I see this being more track 4 or 5 material.
What’s cool is if this is the last track (not counting all those boring acoustics) we would go back to closing an album, in this case the deluxe, with a ballad. Even though BOAH feels like the perfect album closer, I kind of missed the typical ballad as a closing track.
Side note: could this also be Avril’s return to teasing the sound and vibe of upcoming era with the final single (Losing Grip as a transition to UMS, He Wasn’t as a transition to TBDT, maybe IAM as a transition to AL8)? :sideyes:

Listening to Cannonball and wondering what the original verses sounded like before she rewrote them (in her car) last minute.
I also realize she’s a great songwriter for fast songs. The verses for Cannonball and Break Of A Heartache (both written by her) are so good, clever and catchy. I feel sometimes she doesn’t get enough credit for her songwriting skills. Her self-written ballads are generally bland, but she really delivered here.

I don't think it will have a special cover, tbh, given how little we'll get from it.
I also honestly hope she's forgetting one or two songs lol.

Avril specifically mentioned being in the studio with Travis writing and recording songs for the deluxe.
Also, when a fan asked her on Instagram just TWO months ago "Will you be releasing a new album", she answered "Deluxe coming soon this year". Do we really think she was talking about two songs when she answered that? There were obviously more songs. That only led fans to become more hyped about the whole thing.
And let's not forget just three months ago, on her Spotify stories where she said "I DID say we made two records worth of music, and I hope the rest will get to you VERY SOON". Again, do we really want to fool ourselves thinking she was talking about two songs?
Honestly, none of this makes much sense. Makes me think plans were changed last minute again, since she probably wants to close the LS era after the Japan tour and get fully into the AL8 album cycle. Travis will be gone on tour for most of 2023, so she probably had to rush to the studio if she wanted to put out an album next year. That's the only way I can see it that it makes some sort of sense.

Before anyone here pulls their eyeballs out in frustration let me just say that we won't know what's on the Deluxe for certain until the second after it drops. Period. Despite what Avril said last night. Everything else is speculation. I will also point out that all of those unreleased songs are Avril's intellectual property and she can release them or not as she sees fit despite what fans may want, and that you are not entitled to any of them. Ever. Period. It's really as simple as that. That's how the law works and that's how respecting Avril as an artist works. Have a great weekend everybody! You’ve got a point. Maybe she remembers Mercury because she re-recorded it now and is fresh for her along with IAM, and she might be forgetting about a track or two that was recorded some time ago? How aware is she of what’s being released. I mean, I think she didn’t know anything about the colored vinyls back in 2017 until they were sent to her for her livestream on Facebook lol. She could be clueless. Let’s hold on to that hope lmao. And of course, we cannot force her to release something that she wants to keep in a vault, but we know this is not the deluxe she’s been teasing for a year now, something changed. And this change seems to point to these songs being leaked. We can almost confirm the leaks (at least some of them) were meant for the deluxe, so she did intend to release them.

I mean, I’m not even asking for a super 10-track deluxe anymore, not even a 6-track deluxe (boy, I bet now we all wish the 6 new songs rumor was true), but can they please at least add one more song? I don’t care if it’s part of the leaked material.
Two new tracks and a bunch of acoustics, which could be or not re-recorded versions and honestly I don’t care, since I don’t listen to acoustics more than once or twice, just doesn’t justify all this amount of time spent waiting on the deluxe.
Miley Cyrus’ Plastic Hearts leaked enitrely 6 months prior to its release and was a commercial success. Leaks are not heard by anyone other than the inner circle of a fandom. It’s hard to believe some DELUXE tracks (as in BONUS songs) that were leaked are the reason we are only getting 1 new song at this point.
All I can wish for now is for AL8 to drop after the tour next year.

More official Avril BREAKING NEWS: AL8 is underway (I mean we knew this from observation but now it's CONFIRMED confirmed by Avril herself.) Can we create the AL8 Speculations Thread already to take away this bitter moment?

I refuse to believe this deluxe she’s been hyping up for like a half a year only has 2 new songs on it. She probably just doesn’t want to spoil the surprise entirely. I need to believe this. The songs leaked in June, why make us wait till November just for two songs (technically 1 song since IAM is the single)? She also stopped replying around the same time she tweeted that. She must've gotten tons of shit for it. Again, it's not her fault, but I think they can still give us Too Fast To Live and Teenage Nightmare since those were, just as Retrograde, never released to the GP. And as this is not being released in physical format (obviously), why can't they just add a few songs to streaming platforms? Nobody, literally nobody asked for acoustic versions of the songs. We've had enough of those for the time being.

strarting this new album was not in connection to yungblud. just al8 But he was with her But they recorded I'm A Mess in early 2021, there's no way she was making reference to the deluxe. This completely confirms that she's working on AL8 now.

I honestly couldn't care less about acoustic boring versions of songs we know. I want new songs, even if they are the leaked ones. It sucks that these leakers ruined everything planned for the deluxe. All we are getting is this now, but it's not Avril's fault.
