Heard this the other day. Avril sounds like the girl from Flyleaf on it

This is honestly kind of underwhelming. I was expecting a bit more. It kind of picks up at the end but by then I have no interest. Not terrible though, there are far worse songs that couldβve blown up.

Added by KROQ and Alt 92.3.
Now that theyβre fucking and he tattooed her name on his neck - I hope this is a hit for them and a commercially successful start to their happily ever after.

Added by KROQ and Alt 92.3. Now that theyβre f**king and he tattooed her name on his neck - I hope this is a hit for them and a commercially successful start to their happily ever after. MOD SUN is producing Avril's next album (with MGK and Travis Barker contributing guitars and drums/percussion). This is but a teaser of what's to come and an indicator of whether the attempt to change Avril's image will be smooth or not. This is also only getting a soft push to Alt, cementing that this is a teaser and not a true lead. Honestly Avril channeling Lacey Sturms is not the worst thing to do considering where she is on the octave meter. The song's grown on me decently - MOD SUN is a good guitarist who understands the pop-punk sound and the piano breaks add a nice, poppier touch.

Back in the 2000s, I would "hate" on artists like Ashlee Simpson, Avril, etc. It was dumb, in hindsight. However, I'm just not sure about Avril on the alt. or rock panel. With name value, Avril would/could blow up immediately. I love Travis Barker - think he's arguably the hardest-working guy in the industry - but I think it's over-doing it on the sort of new wave pop-emo-punkish sound...you know MGK and the like. In the case of established CHR artists, I think it can work in the case of Daughtry's latest single (or even some of the latest Nickelback material) but this kind of reminds me of 1998 when the alt. format really overloaded on CHR artists ('98 was a great year, of course). I don't dislike Avril, though. Maybe she has something to say?

With how My Ex and Monsters are performing on pop and on streaming/sales, this needs to get the same push as those. It's very much in the same vein.

Up to #26 and has the fourth highest gains at Alternative
I like it. Very 00s Alternative, and the Avril feature definitely adds additional nostalgia. Interesting to see her getting an Alternative hit at this stage of her career. It's the most I've liked any single of hers in over a decade.

Done. Once Offspring and Rise Against caught it and MGK sent his new single this died on the vine.

Have we heard anything more about Avril's comeback? Could there be a lead single coming soon now that this is on the decline?
