Diamond-certified global superstar\u00a0Avril Lavigne<\/strong>\u00a0released a perfectly raucous new song and music video for ‘Young & Dumb<\/strong>‘\u00a0featuring\u00a0Simple Plan<\/strong>. Listen to the song and watch the video\u00a0HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A nostalgic yet modern anthem, ‘Young & Dumb’\u00a0first finds Avril reflective on verse one as she looks back on the carefree early days of her career and ‘livin’ like a rockstar’ before Simple Plan jumps ’20 years later’ to present day in verse two and details how ‘somehow it feels like nothing’s changed.’ The video echoes the song’s sentiment and celebrates life on the road as it cuts between scenes of Avril and Simple Plan ‘trashin’ hotel rooms,’ a punk performance in an empty pool, and partying on the tour bus.<\/p>\n

Avril announced the song Monday with a heartfelt\u00a0social media post<\/a>, reflecting on its meaning and origins, and dedicating it to fans:\u00a0“This is such a full-circle moment. Not only did Simple Plan tour with me last year on the Greatest Hits Tour, but we also toured together in 2003 on my very first arena tour. We were so young – just a bunch of kids from small towns in Canada who had just released our debut albums. We connected instantly and became friends. A few months ago, I called them up, and we got together in the studio to write ‘Young & Dumb.’ We wanted to capture that special time in our lives – when everything was new, and we were chasing our dreams. This song is for our fans. It’s a tribute to the past, but also a celebration of the present. In our hearts, we’re still those same kids, and our love for music hasn’t changed. It’s about friendship, nostalgia, and the way music has kept us connected through the years. I can’t wait to share it with you live this summer.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“We’re so excited to finally release a song with our good friend Avril,”<\/em>\u00a0said Simple Plan.\u00a0“After years of touring and hanging out together, getting in the studio to work on this track was such a cool experience. She’s incredibly talented, and we’re truly grateful she invited us to be part of it and help bring the song to life. The lyrics speak to the special bond we’ve shared since we first toured together back in 2003. We became friends right away, and what’s amazing is how that friendship has only grown stronger over the years. So many of our fans have been asking for this collab for a long time, and we really hope they love ‘Young and Dumb’ as much as we do.\u00a0 We can’t wait to hit the road again on the Greatest Hits Tour this summer and play it live every night\u2014it’s going to be a blast!”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
