I like the song. And I‘m not over the early 2000s vibe music. The reason why most of you think it sounds exactly like something from 2005 or 2007, it‘s because I think the whole song seems to be a reference to Sum 41. Like someone mentioned before the beginning sounds exactly like „Some Say“ and Avril‘s verse sounds EXACTLY like „Motivation“. It sounds so similar that I think it has to be a reference, otherwise this would clearly be plagariasm. Anyway, I really like it, but I clearly prefer EWS over it.

Agree re Avrils verse and Motivation! I thought it sounded like a Sum 41 song on first listen last night but couldn’t remember which one lol. It’s identical.

I think it's all right, same critiques as some others... Avril's vocal should be louder at a couple points .... I overdid the chorus on the song preview so now it's boring but it would have gotten boring quick anyway lol. For me. It's good and stuff but I'm not going to listen to it I can already tell. I just didn't really like the dude's part, I'm just here for Avril. She sounded great, I just wanted more of her.

I enjoyed this song, and I love this kind of music. The only point that I don't like too much is the overprocessed voices.

Out of all the collaborations she did in the last years, this has to be my favourite one.

For me it’s the contrary. I like this song but imo Flames was so much better, lyricwise, music construction, the acoustic opening and then the explosive chorus, I think it was overall a better and less generic song

I wasn't hooked by this song. I only liked the part where Avril is. I didn't like the changes in drum rhythm and the processing of voices. In general, for me the problem with most modern tracks is their processing.I just couldn't get enough of Avril's clear voice. And I'm a little annoyed by these squeaky backing vocals that was made in Melodyne .I would have loved this song more if it had been produced and mixed a little differently. Oh my god I've never been so critical of Avril, even though it's not her song. This! Hard agree!
I feel like nowadays most music sounds so overedited, like it's all just "too much" somehow and too digital. Idk how better to describe it. It really makes it difficult for me to enjoy certain songs, no matter how great they are.
(I probably sound like a cliché boomer, but I swear I grew up in the 2000s, lol.)

“It’s about cutting ties with people and things that don’t lift you up and help you progress,” he shares. “It’s a wave goodbye to whatever’s in the rear-view mirror and a new perspective on the road ahead. “Collaborating on this one with Avril is a dream realised and getting to watch her do what she does best in the studio was crazy inspiring.” www.kerrang.com/all-time-low-and-avril-lavigne-join-forces-for-new-single-fake-as-hell

Fake as Hell is okay but it’s missing something like a strong chorus indeed.I’m not going back to it a lot. I do love her voice here so if she keeps it like that for AL8 I’m happy, don’t touch her voice Feldy, like you did on LS!

I didn’t dig Fake as Hell at first but the more I listeNed I really dig it. I do agree I wish the vocals were a little more clear and more Avril. EWS is better but I do really like it

So I listened to the song twice so far. I think it is certainly catchy and has a memorable hook that will get stuck in your head easily. I keep singing it to myself despite only hearing the song a couple of times. Avril’s voice sounds very good and is well produced, though I agree with others sometimes her part gets buried.
That being said, lyrically it’s nothing great. This doesn’t offer anything new we haven’t heard 12x already on LS. It feels like a LS leftover. Just nothing new lyrically or sonically. As far as her recent collabs go, I think EWS is way better and offers something a bit new from her.
I wonder if this has any potential to go viral on TT? Like I could see people using the hook in a POV type reel about breaking up with a toxic ex or toxic friend, workplace, etc. Who knows. Other than that I’m not sure how much potential I see in this song to really go anywhere. It’s just fine, but nothing more. I’ll probably listen to it here and there but I only care about it because Avril’s on it.

"Avril Lavigne made the most straight-up pop-punk album of her career with last year’s Love Sux, and she’s keeping that same momentum going with this new All Time Low collab. “Fake As Hell” is a standalone All Time Low single, following this year’s Tell Me I’m Alive, and it’s exactly the kind of aughts-era pop-punk sugar rush you’d expect from a collaboration like this one." www.altpress.com/all-time-low-avril-lavigne-fake-as-hell-listen/
