I have been waiting for a long time to finally share my new album #HeadAboveWater with all of you. My heart is so full and complete right now knowing you will hear it all next week. It was very important for me to tell the raw and honest stories of what I’ve been going through since sharing my life with you last. It was very healing for me when I was writing and recording these songs which was very freeing to me and I hope you embrace them. Love you guys and thanks again for your continuous support!!!!

This was written from a place of not allowing something to hold you back from your full potential. It’s about breaking free and loving yourself enough to allow yourself to fly. Finding the confidence and strength to escape and grow. Pre-order #HeadAboveWater link in bio

Sometimes your heart conflicts with your head and leads you into situations that you know aren’t right and then once you’re there, it’s very difficult to get out. I also produced this song with @CBaseford. Pre-order #HeadAboveWater link in bio

I loved being able to write a song with my best friend @RyanCabrera. We had such an amazing time! Tell Me It’s Over is an anthem about being strong and finally putting your foot down and closing the door on a relationship that you know is wrong after time and time again of falling for their games. If someone doesn’t treat you the way you deserve to be treated, don’t put up with it. It’s understandably so hard because in the past every time you saw them, they sucked you in and you fell right back into their web. The vocals and the lyrics are very vulnerable which is reflective of the feelings I got in relationships like these. I wanted to write something classic. I have been inspired by some of the timeless queens I listen to everyday at home, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin and Etta James. They represent women who stand up for women and aren’t going to put up with a man’s bullshit anymore!! #TellMeItsOver #TMIO @MelissaBelMusic @IAmJustinGray Pre-order #HeadAboveWater Link in bio

The concept and idea for #DumbBlonde came to me through a situation I experienced and I brought it to @BonnieMcKee and #MitchAllan, who helped me bring it to life. I had this fucking loser in my life who was threatened by my strength, confidence and independence as a woman. I was belittled and made to feel bad for who I was: A leader, someone with a vision and opinions, someone who has strength, desire, passion and goals. Never let anyone put you down for being who you are. Stand up. Fight. Be you. Love. Be genuine. Kind. Find yourself and own it. Fuck stereotypes. If you’re a strong person and your partner can’t handle you, go find someone who has enough self-confidence and can support you and lift you up and inspire you in your life. As an equal. A friend. Not someone who needs to take you down to make themselves feel better because of their low self-esteem. Yes, women should build each other up, but so should men and women.

It was so beautiful to sit down with @TheLaurenChristy and reconnect. We talked. We reminisced. We laughed. We created. We wrote again. We prayed together. We spoke about all things. Spirituality. God. #ItWasInMe talks about how we search everywhere for the answers in life, but they’re actually buried within us... listen to yourself. Don’t be afraid to speak out. Go with your gut. Don’t look elsewhere for happiness with possessions or people.. In the end, you just have to look inside yourself and find it there. Pre-order #HeadAboveWater Link in bio

#Souvenir is about a summer romance that’s sadly coming to an end and being a hopeless romantic. Summer romances typically don’t last, but sometimes they do, you never know!! The good times and memories are just too good to let go. Is there a way to put distance aside and make the relationship work for the long haul, or maybe even forever? There’s always hope to hold on to. I also wrote this song with @TheLaurenChristy which was such a blast. She’s a genius! Click link in bio to #Preorder #al6 #HeadAboveWater #10Days

#Crush is about being so head over heels in love with someone, but because you have been put in difficult relationships in the past, you are scared of the repercussions of falling too hard. They know you better than anyone else in the world and it drive you crazy because you wont be able to stand losing them. 🖊 with @ZaneCarney Head to link in bio to #preorder #HeadAboveWater #10Days

There can be times in life when for whatever reason you are feeling lost, sad and lonely. It seems like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel, and then you meet that special someone who adores you for you and makes you feel like the most beautiful person in the world. That someone special who you can let your guard down around and be completely vulnerable with and feel more empowered and important than you’ve ever felt before. #Goddess Click the link in bio to #preorder my #newalbum #HeadAboveWater #10Days

I wrote this song on the piano in my living room in Los Angeles - it’s about daring oneself to risk falling in love again. Embracing the opportunity of love. Love can be scary - but it’s better to have loved than have not at all. I had the wonderful @TheLaurenChristy help me afterwards and produce the track with @JonTheRabbi. I love their production. It’s super chill and vibey. #jumpbitch 🖤🖤🖤 #11Days until album release!! Pre-order my new album now, link in bio. #AvrilLavigneHeadAboveWater #HeadAboveWater #LoveMeInsane

This is one of the first songs I wrote for the album after Head Above Water. They are both about the health battle I continue to fight every day. I hope my songs can help you find strength if you need it... I produced this track, @CBaseford engineered, Chad and @TravisWeTheKings helped me finish it. I had a lot of great people around me helping me to make music again. 🖤🖤🖤 #11Days until #albumrelease!! Pre-order my new album now, link in bio. #AvrilLavigneHeadAboveWater #HeadAboveWater #Warrior
