Bite Me marks the Canadian pop-punk giant's first new solo music since her 2019 album, 'Head Above Water', though she has since appeared on other artists' songs, including Mod Sun's Flames and G R O W with Willow.
The riotous track finds her returning to her pop-punk roots and serves as her label debut for Travis Barker's DTA Records. The Blink-182 drummer said:
"Avril and I have been friends for a long time, but I think I’ve been a fan of hers even longer! She’s a true badass and an icon as a performer, songwriter, and presence. We had gotten in the studio earlier this year, and we were having so much fun that I knew I wanted to ask her to join the DTA team. I’m so stoked she’s now part of the label. I can’t wait for everybody to experience the incredible music she’s about to drop."
Lavigne added: "I’ve always admired Travis and his work. The first time we worked together was 15 years ago on my album 'The Best Damn Thing' and I have really enjoyed watching him develop into the producer that he is today. We spent a lot of time writing songs and working on this record together, and signing to his record label, DTA felt like the perfect home for me and my new music. Travis understands my vision as a musician, my creative process as an artist, and my goals at this stage of my career. I am excited to be dropping ‘Bite Me.’ It’s an anthem about knowing your worth, what you deserve, and not giving someone a second chance who doesn’t deserve you."
The 37-year-old recently rescheduled her previously postponed UK shows in Manchester and London to March. Original tickets will be honoured, and the remainder are on sale now.
