naval23 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Like 6 months and she gave us this masterpiece My Happy Ending was the last single recorded and when she told her label she has the lead single, they told her no we're going with "Don't Tell Me" The first album was so successful that Lavigne says she only had six months to write 2004’s Under My Skin: “They made me put it out before I was ready.” She and co-writer Butch Walker kept writing until the last minute, producing the bittersweet grunge anthem My Happy Ending. “I called them and I said: ‘Guys, I have the first single.’ They’re like: ‘No, we’re going with Don’t Tell Me.’” Arista led with their choice but Lavigne was right: My Happy Ending peaked higher and sold almost three times as many copies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan_brit Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 She gave us a masterpiece in a very short time Avril is so talented My Happy Ending probably her best song ever I fear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat The Acid Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 They could have done with a few weeks of reviewing the lyrics and upgrading the quality of them. The album overall is excellent but the lyrics need work and the production needed polishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat The Acid Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Back then an album being out really impacted the singles chances of success. My Happy Ending would have been twice as big if it had been the lead and would have catapulted Under My Skin era to Let Go level success. They should have followed Let Go formula. 1. mid tempo: My Happy Ending 2. Upbeat: He Wasn’t 3. Ballad: How Does it Feel 4. Rock: Don’t Tell Me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiatus Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Honestly my least favorite from her The chorus for most of the tracks should have been doubled. Together, Forgotten, Who Knows in particular seem like they only have half a chorus. How Does It Feel is so slow that Avril herself said she doesn't do it live because she straight up thinks the audience would be bored. The fact MHE is the only track to have a unique producer (all the others are by someone else), and that one is considered the best on the album, + the fact DTM is a Let Go reject (also one of the better tracks on here), speaks volume on the state the album was in. Also, why was this not on the tracklist? Hands down the best from UMS sessions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she talk about the drama around Avril's writing credits for this album? I remember a few people from UMS production apparently tried to sue Avril because they were shocked to see her in the writing credits on the album 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solaris Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Is 6 months very short? It seems a little on the shorter side, but not that short. It should be plenty of time to make an album, especially if you have the resources of a major label. 6 months is a very long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshwark Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 B day was recorded in 28 days, and it shows, the problem wasn't time for Avril, the pop rock scene was crowded: Hilary, Ashlee, Michelle, Kelly, even Pink and Xtina had rockish singles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
