Oftentimes breakup albums can wallow in self pity and lament a relationship, even when the person singing isn't necessarily the one that screwed it up. I was like, 'I'm over it.' And then I was having fun, and it was just like, 'Whatever, f*** it.' I was using my head, but then I followed my heart, I guess. Would you have ever thought that writing an album called Love Sux would actually lead you to falling in love? The irony of that is pretty hilarious. I met John Feldmann, and I was like, 'Where have you been? I could have used you the last 10 years of my life!' I had to take Head Above Water to, like, five different producers. I could not find a good producer on my last album. A lot of times, you write a song and when you record it, you have to sit there and explain to the producer that you don't actually like what they did. When I write songs, I hear them a certain way in my head. I personally think those two really get what 'cool' is. We all came from the same background, so we spoke the same language. I felt like we all complemented each other, and they understood me.

It was your first time working with both MOD SUN and veteran pop-punk producer John Feldmann - what did they bring to your creation process? My first album, I was just out of high school, so I was writing about skater boys.

I do write about love a lot, but now the difference is, I'm writing from the perspective of a woman. Because I had so much time in the pandemic to songwrite, I was looking back at my whole life, and love, the ups and downs, and the things I've gone through - the stuff I've seen, and the lessons I've learned - and put it into my music. Lyrically, I had just gotten out of a relationship, and I was reflecting on that. How did that play into the direction you took lyrically? Every album you go in kind of feeling a certain type of way stylistically, sonically, production-wise - this is just where I felt like, in my life, I wanna have fun, I wanna rock out. I'm doing it because I truly want to and I just want to have so much fun. This far into my career, it's like, I don't have to be doing this. Everyone was always trying to tell me to dial it back. Production-wise, it's the most alternative. No holding back here.'Д«esides the creative freedom you had on it, what makes this album feel different? I had my freedomвЂ¦I didn't have a label or managers at the time, and I just went in the studio like, 'Alright, time to rock all the way through. This album is also a record I've wanted to make for a long time.

Even though some of my albums have pivoted a bit, all my concerts carry this spirit and energy in them.

Before I started writing my own record, I was gravitating towards guitar-driven music. This is the kind of music that I fell in love with when I was old enough to buy my own tapes and CDs, in like, grade nine, and discovering bands like Offspring, Goo Goo Dolls, Green Day. I have a silly personality, so even though I'm talking about how love sucks - and I really, truly was feeling that way, burnt out and jaded on love, when I started this album - it's very lighthearted and there's a sense of humor in the songs. I just wanted to have fun, have a good time, and make an upbeat record.

Pop-punk has always been part of who you are as an artist, but how did you get back into that mindset and vibe after making 2019вЂ™s Head Above Water, which pivoted away from that style?Д«ecause Head Above WaterВ was so full of ballads and emotional and just like, deep, I felt like I was definitely ready to f***ing rock. But that didn't alter the 'Bite Me' singer's scorned attitude on Love Sux, and it resulted in what she refers to as ' a love letter to women.'ДЄhead of the LP's release, caught up with Lavigne to discuss the gratifying process of Love Sux, how it's a culmination of her career, and why - even despite her current relationship status - she stands by the album's jaded sentiment. Only this time, she's older, wiser and, ironically, in love.Дuring the album's creation, Lavigne began dating fellow pop-punker MOD SUN, one of her main collaborators on the project. It's a continuation of the relentless spirit Lavigne has displayed since her GRAMMY-nominated debut, Let Go, which turns 20 this June. From the first rips of electric guitar on opener 'Cannonball' to the declarative final line on album closer 'Break of a Heartache,' Lavigne takes a refreshing approach on a breakup album, employing both a sense of humor and a wave of confidence. Love Sux, the seventh studio album from the Canadian pop-punk veteran, is an amped-up rock fest of catharsis. Now, she's delivering a full soundtrack for it. If you've ever been so beaten down by love that you just want to give up, Avril Lavigne knows what you're going through.
