Did a search and couldn't find a thread for this one. :) Honestly, this is probably my favorite song of the last decade. I can't believe it's been eight years since this was on the charts; it still sounds like something that could be huge today.

I LOVE this song. All of the singles from her first album (minus Sk8er Boi) were flawless.

Funnily enough, if this was released today, I'd probably slam her for being an obnoxious brat with mood swings. But due to the nostalgia factor, I can't help but smile.

One of the better performances of her career.

Yeah, I found the arrangement of the ballad to be a bit sappy, and the lyrics kind of immature.

She was 16 or 17 when she wrote this song, the immaturity seemed genuine and understandable at the time.

This is her best song. It's nostalgic for me now (it was always on the radio and a lot of people at my school were into her), but it always had a nostalgic sound, which I love. It's one of the few, maybe the only, times in her career where she's sounded completely genuine and believable too.
It has always seemed very overrated on the boards though.

It was annoying then and it is annoying now. Overplayed, too.

This would have gone to #1 if it was out during the digital era.

I used to be a crazy ass stan for her when she was that Avril. That was back when she was a phenomenon too. Was good times. She seems like a totally different person now, but I wish she would release music of the same quality as back then.

One of my favorite, most nostalgic songs of all time. This is undoubtedly Avril at her best. It deserves all the praise it gets and more.

I swear if the "Complicated Avril" would pan and make fun of the "Girlfriend and What the Hell Avril" It is so crazy how she changed in to this diaster when she used to be so good.

It grinds my gears when I see people say they hate this song, when I think of Avril, I think of this song and Losing Grip, my two favorite songs from her debut.

I love 3/4 and 6/8 ballads, so...
This is honestly one of her best songs. I don't know how anyone could hate it.

This is one of the greatest songs of the 2000s and has more depth and sincerity than anything she's released from 2007-present.
