Avril Lavigne Gets Nostalgic With Simple Plan for Anthemic Collab ‘Young & Dumb’
Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan are taking a "Young and Dumb" trip down memory lane with their new single, which was released Friday (May 9).
On the sing-along, the “Complicated” singer transports fans back to the beginning of the pop-punk explosion of the early 2000s as she sings, “2002 and I’m hangin’ on the tour bus/ Leavin’ my hometown, Napanee/ Rockin’ a necktie, black eyeliner/ White tank top and I’m chasin’ my dreams.” Simple Plan frontman Pierre Bouvier grabs the mic for the second verse, fast-forwarding to the genre’s resurgence in the current decade while still insisting, “I’m just a kid, still a pop-punk skater/ They told me, ‘Get a job’/ But I said, ‘No way! In a behind-the scenes teaser (below), the pop-punk princess can be seen giving Billboard a glimpse inside her tour bus — where the Simple Plan guys just so happen to be lounging in the bunks.
