Avril Lavigne have teamed up once again with Simple Plan for a new single called ‘Young & Dumb’.

The Montreal rock band opened for Avril on last year’s Greatest Hits tour, but share a long history – they also appeared together for Lavigne’s first-ever arena shows in 2003.

Lavigne shared of the joint track: “This really feels like a full-circle moment. Simple Plan joined me on the road last year for my Greatest Hits Tour, but our history goes way back—we first toured together in 2003 during my very first arena run. We were just a bunch of small-town Canadian kids who had just released our first records. We clicked right away and have been close ever since .. As for how the joint new track came about. A few months ago, I called them up, and we got together in the studio to write ‘Young & Dumb’. 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’s a tribute to the past, but also a celebration of the present. In our hearts, we’re still those same kids, and our love for music hasn’t changed. It’s about friendship, nostalgia and the way music has kept us connected through the years. I can’t wait to share it with you live this summer.”

The single arrives alongside Lavigne’s spring 2025 North American leg of her Greatest Hits Tour, where she’ll be joined on the road by Simple Plan, Fefe Dobson, and We The Kings. Later in the year, she’s also slated to appear at Las Vegas’ When We Were Young festival in October.
