ET Canada caught up with Avril and chatted about her new record, Goodbye Lullaby.
Here’s what the 26-year-old rocker had to share:
On the emotions explored on Goodbye Lullaby: “It’s an album that I’m really proud of and…yeah, there are a lot of emotions that go on in this record. I would say bittersweet, happy, sad. The insgesamt message is…is about finding inner strength and being strong and getting through that and life is a journey.”
On whether “What The Hell” is autobiographical: “The song isn’t super literal….so Du know, I do throw my personal experiences in there as and things that I just see in life with my Friends and stuff like that. So the song is really just about being a free spirit and having no worries and just having a good time and not taking yourself too seriously.”
On shooting the “What The Hell” video in 3-D: “Very exciting! It looks really cool. My Favorit setup is the stage with the band - when you’re watching it, Du feel like you’re in the crowd and Du can see everyone rocking out….So that part’s cool. The video is kinda about a guy who really likes a girl but she just wants to have fun.”
On what’s next: So I will start my world tour in May. And I will go, I will definitely be in Canada and the US and Asia, Australia and Europe - all over the place!”

"Slipped Away"
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss Du so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope Du can hear me
I remember it clearly
The Tag Du slipped away
Was the Tag I found it won't be the same
Ooooh

Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see Du again
I know that I can't
Oooooh

The Tag Du slipped away
Was the Tag I found it won't be the same
Ooooh

Won't Du wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, Du passed by
Now Du are gone, now Du are gone
There Du go, there Du go
Somewhere I can't bring Du back
Now Du are gone, now Du are gone
There Du go, there Du go,
Somewhere your not coming back
The Tag Du slipped away

"Naked"
I wake up in the morning
Put on my face
The one that's gonna get me
Through another day
Doesn't really matter
How I feel inside
'Cause life is like a game sometimes
But then Du came around me
The walls just disappeared
Nothing to surround me
And keep me from my fears
I'm unprotected
See how I've opened up
Oh, you've made me trust
Because I've nver felt like this before
I'm naked
Around you
Does it show?
Du see right through me
And I can't hide
I'm naked
Around you
And it feels so right
I'm tyring to remember
Why I was afraid
To be myself and let the
Covers fall away
I guess I never had someone like you
To help me, to help me fit
In my skin
I never felt like this before
I'm naked
Around you
Does it show?
Du see right through me
And I can't hide
I'm naked
Around you
And it feels so right
I'm naked
Oh oh yeah
Does it show?
Yeah, I'm naked
Oh oh, yeah yeah
I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide
You're gonna see right through, baby
I wake up in the morning
Put on my face
The one that's gonna get me
Through another day
Doesn't really matter
How I feel inside
'Cause life is like a game sometimes
