"I was getting out of a big relationship, and for the first time in my life, I thought I should probably be single," said the Bite Me singer. "I got together with [Mod Sun] to write a song. We just clicked. I was like, 'Should you be doing this?' It was fun and exciting, and I decided, [expletive] it. Life's short.' I'm a Libra. I love love."
Avril Lavigne's new album comes out on 25 February
The singer, who first sparked relationship rumours with Mod Sun this time last year, said that the pair "bonded over music".
The new album is the pop-punk star's seventh full-length record and the first since she released Head Above Water three years ago in 2019.

"There was a point in music where the label was like, 'Radio don't want to hear guitars anymore.' Live drums went away. Live electric guitars weren’t getting played.
"There's always been that fine line that I'm going to make my music that I'm feeling but also you have a company behind you who influences what you're doing."
