Diamond-certified global superstar Avril Lavigne released a perfectly raucous new song and music video for \u201cYoung & Dumb\u201d featuring Simple Plan. Listen to the song and watch the video HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A nostalgic yet modern anthem, \u201cYoung & Dumb\u201d first finds Avril reflective on verse one as she looks back on the carefree early days of her career and \u2018livin\u2019 like a rockstar\u2019 before Simple Plan jumps \u201820 years later\u2019 to present day in verse two and details how \u2018somehow it feels like nothing’s changed.\u2019 The video echoes the song\u2019s sentiment and celebrates life on the road as it cuts between scenes of Avril and Simple Plan \u2018trashin’ hotel rooms,\u2019 a punk performance in an empty pool, and partying on the tour bus.<\/p>\n

Avril announced the song Monday with a heartfelt social media post, reflecting on its meaning and origins and dedicating it to fans: \u201cThis is such a full-circle moment. Not only did Simple Plan tour with me last year on the Greatest Hits Tour, but we also toured together in 2003 on my very first arena tour. We were so young – just a bunch of kids from small towns in Canada who had just released our debut albums. We connected instantly and became friends. A few months ago, I called them up, and we got together in the studio to write \u2018Young & Dumb.\u2019 We wanted to capture that special time in our lives – when everything was new, and we were chasing our dreams. This song is for our fans. It\u2019s a tribute to the past, but also a celebration of the present. In our hearts, we\u2019re still those same kids, and our love for music hasn\u2019t changed. It\u2019s about friendship, nostalgia, and the way music has kept us connected through the years. I can\u2019t wait to share it with you live this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so excited to finally release a song with our good friend Avril,\u201d said Simple Plan. \u201cAfter years of touring and hanging out together, getting in the studio to work on this track was such a cool experience. She\u2019s incredibly talented, and we\u2019re 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\u2019ve shared since we first toured together back in 2003. We became friends right away, and what\u2019s amazing is how that friendship has only grown stronger over the years. So many of our fans have been asking for this collab for a long time, and we really hope they love \u2018Young and Dumb’ as much as we do. We can\u2019t wait to hit the road again on the Greatest Hits Tour this summer and play it live every night\u2014it\u2019s going to be a blast! \u201d<\/p>\n
