Avril lavigne the day you went away
Despite her doctor's warning, Lavigne recorded vocals, "I wasn't able to sing for the last forty-eight hours because I could do permanent damage to the vocal cords." She revealed that she had been "trying new stuff" and that she was "exploring". During these sessions, Lavigne had strep throat, and the people involved were required to wear surgical masks. I have a very serious record, so I think I need to put a couple upbeat, fun songs on it." In August 2010, Lavigne returned to Henson Recording Studios with producer Alex da Kid. In May, Lavigne said that she considered the album too serious and "mellow" and would return to the studio to balance the album out, "With an album, I don't want to rush it out. Later, in January 2010, Lavigne stated that the album cover had been photographed and the first single would be released in April followed by the album in June. The album was originally scheduled for release on November 17, 2009. The album and lead single's release dates had been pushed back several times. And I wanted to match that musically with the track." It makes me feel something more than the other stuff. "It's way more meaningful, has more of an impact, more emotional. "I think this is taking the spirit of what she's done on previous records so much further," he said. They used their home studio to produce eight of the nine tracks she initially recorded for the album. The same day, MTV News reported that he was working with her on the follow-up album to The Best Damn Thing. In September 2009, it was reported that Lavigne and husband Deryck Whibley were separating. Lavigne's third studio album, The Best Damn Thing (2007), was a great commercial success, mainly due to its lead-single, " Girlfriend" (a number-one hit in over six countries) and its successful worldwide tour, The Best Damn World Tour (2008). I was like, 'No, this is a really special record to me and this is what I'm doing'." "My record company was being a typical record company and trying to give me their version of how it should be – trying to get me to go in a different direction.
