Artiestinformatie

Geboortedatum	27-09-1984
Land	Canada

De Canadese zangeres, songwriter en actrice Avril Ramona Lavigne groeide op met het zingen van countrymuziek en in een kerkkoor en leerde zichzelf gitaar spelen. Als 14-jarige won ze een radiowedstrijd en mocht daarom tijdens een concert in Ottawa van Shania Twain optreden.

Op haar 17e tekende ze een platencontract bij Arista Records, onderdeel van BMG. Ze ging naar Los Angeles om te schrijven met hulp van Cliff Magness en een schrijversteam The Matrix genaamd. Zij hadden al eerder nummers geschreven voor Sheena Easton en Christina Aguilera. Het resulteerde in het zeer succesvolle debuutalbum Let Go, waarop de singles Sk8er Boy en Complicated te vinden zijn.

In 2006 trouwde ze met de zanger van Sum 41, Deryck Whibley. Na vier jaar liep het huwelijk op de klippen. In 2013 trouwde ze met Chad Kroeger, de zanger van Nickelback. Dit huwelijk hield echter ook geen stand en de twee gingen in 2015 uit elkaar.

Ze kreeg in 2015 te horen dat ze de ziekte van Lyme had. Hierdoor bracht ze weinig nieuwe muziek uit. In 2019 verscheen het album Head Above Water. Twee jaar later komt ze met de track Bite Me

Songtekst

You held my hand and walked me home, I don't know
Why you gave me that kiss
It was something like this and made me go ooh ooh
You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears
Why did you have to go?
Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love
Guys are so hard to trust

Did I not I tell you that I'm not like that girl,
the one who, who gives it all away, yeah, oh, oh

Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was somethin' I was gonna do, and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way, yeah

Don't think that you're charm
And the fact that your arm is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants, I'll have to kick your ass
And make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop
Though I liked you a lot
But I'm really upset (I'm really upset)
Get out of my head, get off of my bed
Yeah, that's what I said

Did I not I tell you that I'm not like that girl,
The one who throws it all away

Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was somethin' I was gonna do, and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way, yeah

This guilt trip that you put me on
Won't mess me up, I've done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me have gone away

Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was somethin' I was gonna do, and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way, yeah

Better off that way
I'm better off alone anyway
