Avril Lavigne released a perfectly raucous new song and music video for ‘Young & Dumb’ featuring Simple Plan. A nostalgic yet modern anthem, ‘Young & Dumb’ first finds Avril reflective on verse one as she looks back on the carefree early days of her career and ‘livin’ like a rockstar’ before Simple Plan jumps ‘20 years later’ to present day in verse two and details how ‘somehow it feels like nothing’s changed.’ The video echoes the song’s sentiment and celebrates life on the road as it cuts between scenes of Avril and Simple Plan ‘trashin’ hotel rooms,’ a punk performance in an empty pool, and partying on the tour bus.
“We’re so excited to finally release a song with our good friend Avril,” said Simple Plan. “After years of touring and hanging out together, getting in the studio to work on this track was such a cool experience. She’s incredibly talented, and we’re truly grateful she invited us to be part of it and help bring the song to life. The lyrics speak to the special bond we’ve shared since we first toured together back in 2003. We became friends right away, and what’s amazing is how that friendship has only grown stronger over the years. So many of our fans have been asking for this collaboration for a long time, and we really hope they love ‘Young and Dumb’ as much as we do. We can’t wait to hit the road again on the ‘Greatest Hits Tour’ this summer and play it live every night—it’s going to be a blast!”
