The Best Damn Thing is the third album by rock/pop singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne and is currently scheduled for release April 17, 2007.[1][2] The album is said to be less mellow than previous Lavigne albums, and more punk and upbeat. Avril described the record as: "fast, fun, young, bratty, aggressive, confident, cocky in a playful way...all the good stuff."

On Thursday February 1, 2007 Dr Luke said that the album version of "Keep Holding On" will be different from the Eragon version. On that same day, a press release containing the album's official cover was issued[3].

On February 18, 2006, AOL posted previews of three songs on the album: Everything Back But You, I Can Do Better, and When You're Gone.

Singles

The first official single from the album will be "Girlfriend". The song premiered on Ottawa radio station Hot 89.9 on the morning of February 7, 2007. Dr. Luke said the song is not-too-serious, but fun and harder than most stuff that Avril has done, and that it is upbeat. Girlfriend was leaked on to the internet on 5 February 2007. The song is expected to be released as a CD single in the coming months, this will be Avril's first CD single in North America since "Nobody's Home." "He Wasn't", which wasn't released in the United States, and her last single, "Fall to Pieces", were not released as CD singles, but as a radio singles.

The song "Keep Holding On" (which Avril re-recorded for the album) was also released as a radio single and peaked very well on the US and Canadian charts. The single is doing extremely well on the radio charts still. No physical single was released.
