Lavigne also commented, "I've been called the bad girl, [a] rebel, punk, and I'm none of that."

Live in Brazil (2014)

music

Her music style is somewhere between pop and rock. The spectrum ranges from rather calm, ballad-like pieces like I'm with You , Tomorrow , Innocence or How Does It Feel to hip-hop-inspired titles like Nobody's Fool to rock-like songs like Sk8er Boi or He Wasn't .

On her debut album, Let Go , Lavigne released mainstream songs like Losing Grip and the pop song Complicated , to which she said, “The songs I recorded with The Matrix were good for my first record, but I didn't want the pop music on mine anymore Songs ".

Texts

She has been involved in the songwriting of all songs so far. For example, Losing Grip , I'm with You , Naked , Girlfriend , Hot , Don't Tell Me or When You're Gone deal with the topic of love . Others are a kind of self-characterization ( My World , Nobody's Fool , Anything but Ordinary ). Sometimes stories are also told, for example in Sk8er Boi or Nobody's Home .

“I know my fans look up to me and that's why I make my songs so personal; it's all about things I've experienced and things I like or hate. I write for myself and hope that my fans like what I have to say. "

“I know my fans admire me and that's why my songs are so personal. They are about my experiences, experiences and the things I like or hate. I write for myself and hope that my fans will find what I have to say good. "

- Avril Lavigne

Other themes in Lavigne's songs include personal messages from a female point of view. Lavigne believes that "her songs are about you". Lavigne's second album, Under My Skin , consists largely of personal messages from the songs. Lavigne explained, "I got so inside myself, a lot of personal things came to my mind ... like boys, friendships or relationships". In contrast, the third album The Best Damn Thing hardly contained any personal songs: "Most of the songs I wrote for my third album have no real relation to me ...". Lavigne wrote songs for the album that had "fun" as a theme. Goodbye Lullaby , Lavigne's fourth album, is said to be her most personal album, with which she also wants to process the separation from her ex-husband. Lavigne described the album as “… very personal and dark. All songs are very emotional ”.
