Avril Lavigne Releases 'Young & Dumb' Featuring Simple Plan Ahead of North America Tour

Avril Lavigne has released a new single titled "Young & Dumb" in collaboration with Simple Plan, coinciding with the 2025 extension of her Greatest Hits Tour, where Simple Plan will support her on several U.S. and Canadian dates. The song reflects on their shared history, capturing the nostalgia of their early careers when they were young Canadian artists chasing their dreams, and celebrates their enduring friendship and love for music. Both artists expressed excitement about the collaboration, noting it as a full-circle moment since they first toured together in 2003 and recently on the previous leg of Lavigne's tour. The track presents a mix of reflective and anthemic pop-punk vibes, with lyrics about youthful rebellion and lasting bonds, supported by a music video showcasing life on the road. Fans were teased with hints from Lavigne prior to the release, including a tattoo inspired by the song’s title. The tour featuring Simple Plan, Fefe Dobson, and We The Kings is set to begin in May 2025, further promoting the new single and Lavigne's enduring hits.
