Avril Lavigne first hit the pop charts in 2002 when she was only 17.

She has drawn both criticism and strong praise throughout her career.

She has also gathered a loyal army of fans and sold millions of albums and singles.

On Dont Tell Me, Avril Lavigne asserts her independence and unwillingness to give in to the demands of a male lover.

It powered its way into the top 10 at both adult and mainstream top 40 radio while going to 5 on the UK pop singles chart.

While going over clothing ideas inspired by Alice in Wonderland with Disney personnel in an effort to find ideas for her own Abbey Dawn clothing line, Avril Lavigne offered to write a song for the Disney live action film.

Director Tim Burton gave his approval for the idea, and Avril Lavigne sat down and immediately wrote Alice.

In the song, she created a raw, throbbing statement of the survival instinct.

Between her 2011 album Goodbye Lullaby and the 2013 self-titled collection, Avril Lavigne switched labels from RCA to Epic.

Heres To Never Growing Up was the first single at her new recording home.

Co-written with her future husband Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, the song is a celebration of remaining young.

It became Avril Lavignes eighth top 20 pop hit single and led into a 5 chart debut for the album.

Avril Lavigne co-wrote the song with Dr.

What the Hell on the surface is a perky upbeat Max Martin-produced pop tune.

However, in the lyrics, there is a hint of more seriousness particularly in light of the end of Avril Lavignes first marriage to Sum 41s Deryck Whibley.

The song was released as the first single from the studio album Goodbye Lullaby.

It climbed to 8 at mainstream pop radio just missing the Billboard Hot 100 top 10, peaking at 11.

Im With You earned Avril Lavigne two Grammy Award nominations including for Song of the Year.

As the third single from her debut album Let It Go, it received kudos for its adult-oriented sound.
