Avril Lavigne is the self-titled fifth studio album by Canadian singer Avril Lavigne, released on 1 November 2013 by, Sony Music Entertainment. The album is a follow-up to her 2011 effort Goodbye Lullaby. Lavigne collaborated with numerous producers including Martin Johnson of Boys Like Girls, Peter Svensson, David Hodges, Matt Squire and her husband Chad Kroeger of Nickelback. In both musical and lyrical aspects, the album represents a departure from her previous production, including a more pop and upbeat sound, but not dropping her "bratty" or "immature" image, which was heavily criticized.

"A first taste like honey, you were so yum/Can't wait for a second, cause it's so fun," is a line from the song "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet," off Avril Lavigne's self-titled fifth studio album. It's a line that's cutesy and cloying, but look, if you can, beyond it, and soak in the beautifully crafted pop song that houses it. From "Sk8er Boi" to "Girlfriend" to the underrated "What The Hell," Lavigne has always released pop music that defies dissection, ruffling the feathers of scholars with cries of "Hey, hey! You, you! I don't like your girlfriend," and disregarding high art for a meaty chorus. The thing is, Lavigne has always been highly skilled at this practice -- ever since she began spitting the polysyllabic pile-up of the "Complicated" chorus, Lavigne has stayed in her lane, cranked out an album's worth of enjoyable pop-rock every three years or so, and kept her image and integrity intact. For someone who often focuses on the irresponsibilities of youth, Lavigne has proven herself as one of mainstream music's most reliable personalities; her commitment to bestowing us with impudent anthems is almost workmanlike.
