Picture it - it’s 2004, Avril Lavigne was in her prime and releasing bop after bop. I mean, In My Skin? Superior album. We all fell in love with the angst that she brought to us through her songs and it’s probably safe to say that she is an emo queen.
Now fast forward to 2021, she released a new single with Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker, titled “Bite Me”. A collaboration between Avril Lavigne and Travis Barker? 2000’s pop-punk icons? This is bound to be one hell of a song that’s full of nostalgia.
And full of nostalgia it is! This song screams; “2000’s pop-punk!” The second you hear Avril sing, “you should've known better, better to fuck with someone like me” - you know you’re in for a roller coaster ride back in time.
This song has almost the same vibe as Avril’s first single, “Complicated”. After first listening to it, I had to go back and listen to the hit single off of Let Go and I could feel the same vibe in both songs. It just comes to show you that even after almost 20 years, Avril can still rock out and STILL reigns queen of pop punk.
“Bite Me” is bound to make you feel like you’re back in 2004 rocking out to Avril in your bedroom. Get ready to start using your hairbrush as microphones again, folks. We can’t wait to hear what else Avril may have in store for all us.
Now, do us a favor and stream “Bite Me”….
