Ok from what she said here, this song absolutely HAS to be about Rotem, unless she’s referring to a person we never even saw publicly. She confirmed it’s not about Deryck or Chad. It makes total sense when you think about how they had this weird on again, off again relationship, the following and unfollowing each other, changing IG captions, etc. Had no idea about all the other stuff, like him asking her to marry him. At that point, she probably decided to break up with him and then he got mad over it. That could be where the troubles started.

The Genius video seems a bit chaotic to me. Avril keeps moving so much and jumping from one part of her story to the next and she keeps saying "like". It's sort of all over the place, lol. But I still enjoyed it a lot. I only wish Avril had explained a bit more about some lyrics instead of simply being like "I wrote this at 3 in the morning." Okay, interesting info, but that still doesn't explain how she interprets those lyrics... I'm glad that it's clear now that the song is NOT about Chad or Deryck. The way she describes it, it doesn't seem to be about Rotem either. I think it might be about a guy we never saw her in public with... I can't believe that guy even asked her to marry him and, after being rejected, the harrassement started. It's so scary! Also, I thought it was "sweet talking alibi" and "even in sunlight clouds shadow over me", not "sweet talk an alibi" and "[...] your cloud shadows over me". Last but not least, Avril's looks give me huge UMS/2004-ish vibes. Love it.

This video was soo good. I enjoyed it from start to finish. I loved how they broke it down and described each verse and lyric. And we got a lot of details about how she came up with the concept, of how she cried, even though now she’s laughing at the whole thing.
The song has to be about Rotem, 100%. As Bogog said, we noticed how weird that relationship was, she even said it wasn’t a serious one, more like an on and off thing. The fact that she pointed out that it wasn’t an ex husband surely narrowed it down. I never thought she was talking about Deryck or Chad, since she’s very close and has a great relationship with both.
I had to keep reminding myself this video was from a few weeks ago and not straight from 2004. Vampire queen.

I don't like the "cut out everything including the breathing" style of video editing (that became super popular through youtubers), it doesn't have a pleasant natural flow, even if it might save you a minute or two. It's a interesting little interview otherwise, even though Avril doesn't have some particularly elaborate vocabulary (and like, you know, like ).

Those "like" all the time can be distracting (very actually, and annoying too) but you can get some juice out of it.

I agree the constant use of “like” and the Valley Girl accent was pretty annoying, but I enjoyed this interview anyway. She seemed really happy and passionate talking about the song and I’m glad for once she was basically forced to explain what the lyrics mean. There were a few lines that still went unexplained but oh well. I would have liked to know what she meant by “sweet talkin’ alibi” like I guess it’s his “other” side, the one that is sweet and kind but it isn’t who he truly is.
I felt heartbroken for her when she said she cried at the piano and that the guy started harassing her after rejecting him. No one should have to deal with that. I’m glad she’s with Phillip now, who seems to treat her really well.

Remember, years ago, the guy from South Africa caught her in some parking lot and asked her if she liked LA? She said in her real voice “F No! Everyone is phony here.” She has changed since then.

I lol’d when she was explaining the line “heartbreak explosions” and she says, “it’s like my heart exploding.” I think we figured that out, Av lol
Anyone else notice how when she was talking about the teddy bears line she said “no, I want rubies and diamonds” —> “But I’ll buy you diamonds and ruby rings”

Or maybe she just said it because she had the lyrics on her mind. Or maybe it's a direct message to Rotem because they made the song together (?) IDK, kinda like she did it, even if it wasn't intentional.

For me it was really hard to watch that interview. Her (speaking) voice and her way of talking became so annoying to me. Sorry but she just sounds like 'dumb blonde' from a reality show... it gets a bit better during the interview though.
To think that there was another guy asking her to marry him... I am happy she said no.
I'm convinced she is talking about Rotem. I remember these weird paparazzi pictures where he grabs her arm in a uncomfortable way, and then all these cryptic tweets and all this following-unfollowing-thing on instagram.
I wish we would get more information about her songs and how she developed them.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I found nothing wrong with her speaking voice and did not notice all the "likes". She's been obnoxious in her Snapchat stories but I heard no trace of that on here. But I am from LA so I talk very similar and use like a lot too sometimes 😅.
This is how I like to see Avril. She was upbeat through the whole interview and did not lower her voice like when she has one interviewer focusing on her. Asking personal questions. She was not shy. I like it.
Her clothes are also very nice. I hope she dresses like this for her tour except add some shine or color so I could see her lol. And I was right she was wearing a Marilyn Manson shirt. I kind of want it so if anyone knows where to buy it please tell me.

i never thought interviews brought out the best in avril's personality to be honest, it's like she never manages to come across as nice and genuine at the same time. not throwing shades at her, i'm the same way and it's not entirely her fault, but i don't enjoy her on interviews, i vastly prefer her in documentaries and making of videos.
