Avril Lavigne has joined forces with Simple Plan for anthemic single ‘Young & Dumb’.
Released via Big Noise Music Group, it comes ahead of the 2025 extension of Avril’s ‘Greatest Hits Tour’, which will see Simple Plan support on a run of shows across the US and Canada.
Announcing the collaboration earlier this week on social media, Avril shared:
“This is such a full-circle moment. Not only did Simple Plan tour with me last year on the Greatest Hits Tour, but we also toured together in 2003 on my very first arena tour. We were so young – just a bunch of kids from small towns in Canada who had just released our debut albums. We connected instantly and became friends. 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.”
