It will be released this Friday:
Even though the tweet doesn't mention Avril, the song is registered on ASCAP (Work ID #910839409) as "Complicated ft. Ryan Caraeo" with Avril and The Matrix as writers. Ryan Caraveo's last tweet before the announcement is also Avril's lyrics:

Is Steve one of the DJs she was following? I only remember Skrillex and Marshmello. This is cool. Something to look forward to I hope one day Tommee Profitt does a cinematic remix of one of her songs too since they're cool with each other.

Steve Aoki is a big Dj who she did a song together, Lights out. A snippet of it came out and the song is on sale on a website, but apparently nobody still bought it and leaked it. It's very electronic. We know the lyrics from the short snippet saying "Out of body, out of my mind, I'm crossing over finish lines". I gave it on my computer, but it was removed from Youtube I guess, you could check it out. The song was produced by Rotem I guess, so no wonder why it wasn't officially released.
They also were on a same event by the time this happened

Its weird that they wouldnt mention her... I mean it's her song, everyone (older than 15) knows that and connects the song with her. Saying that, I can imagine 13 year olds on tik tok loving that song, not knowing it's a cover we are old.

I like the song..sort of. I laughed at the muh muh muh part but otherwise it sounds like nice song. I can imagine this playing while shopping at Forever 21 or a late night radio dj show

The song is alright and I appreciate that they put their own spin on “Complicated”. I don’t think I’ll be coming back to the song super often, but it’s also a nice tastebreaker from what I usually listen to.

Normally I like this kind of music but I can’t hear Complicated in this way, it just doesn’t sound right to me. I stopped listening halfway through. Oh well, I guess it’s cool they used the song and remind people Avril exists?

I've never heard of Ryan Caraveo nor Yves V before, but I have heard Steve Aoki's remix of "Welcome To The Black Parade" by MCR a couple of years ago, and I hated it so much that ever since, I've been like "Steve Aoki? Please no!!" Which I realize is unfair, to judge an artist/dj by one single song. But... he butchered one my absolute favourite songs, a song that I'd never thought could be butchered at all! And I think most fellow fans absolutely hated this remix, too.
Because of this one super negative experience, I'd prepared myself for the worst going into this remix of "Complicated", but I have to say, I'm positively surprised. It's certainly not my taste, but I can and do appreciate the effort they obviously put into this song. The vocals are quite nice and I really like the added lyrics. I think, if this sort of dance/club music was my taste, I'd actually really like this song. The only thing I don't really like is these weird "numm numm numm" sounds. Reminds me of when you try to catch a fish in Animal Crossing, it often nibbles at the fish hook several times, lol.

I don't think I knew about this. Or I forgot, lol. But I did find a snippet on YouTube. It's an unlisted video, however, so I'm not sure if it's okay to share it. But it's pretty easy to find with a quick google search, just enter "avril lavigne lights out snippet". Or simply check AvrilSpain's Facebook post from last year.

Oh wow i just found about this now... which is weird 'cause I do kinda follow Ryan Caraveo LOL i mean, some of his music only. I thought it was a cover BUT you can barely call this a cover lol. It reminds me of that Fast Car remix a couple of years ago that went to be a BIG hit.
Maaaaaybe... this will also become one? That would be greta for her. It is very radio-friendly and easy to listen to, i can see it being played everywhere honestly. Is not the best song for my personal taste...BUT is not bad at all if you take out the fact that it doesn't sound anything like the original which was probably the point.
I mean... this is how you re-imagine a song and make your own version... not that crappy L8r boi piece of garbage. At least this one is "respectful". The song is on repeat while i'm writing this and honestly is quite good if you like that kinda of music obviously.
I hoped for a cover tho and something a little bit more impactful, this is pretty chill and relaxed, probably to gain more streams.
And the fact such a big name made a cover of her song??? YES! haha i'm so glad people are not making as much fun of her as before and starting to take her a little bit more seriously... let's hope HK 2.0 won't happen....

I heard this for the first time a few days ago and I swooned! Oh my god I love it. Such a unique cover! I love the new lyrics and flow of the song. I want a whole album of Avril covers by these guys! lol
