This was the first Avril Lavigne song that really convinced me that she was more than a pop artist. "Complicated" (the first single off her debut album) was obviously a huge hit, and the follow-up single ("Sk8er Boi") was really catchy and a massive hit of course, but this was the song that seemed to have some real emotional resonance behind it. 2002 is also the year when I first started dating my wife and this bittersweet but somewhat optimistic ballad was one that I listened to a lot in those early years when we were navigating our relationship. I'm clearly not the only one for whom this song resonated, because it also gained popularity by being featured on an episode of Scrubs, an episode of Smallville, and in the movie Bruce Almighty. It was also used for a handful of commercials, video games, and other uses... and was included in a movie soundtrack as recently as this year, when it was featured in Deadpool & Wolverine over twenty years later. Apparently I'm not the only one for whom this song really resonated! By the way, if you want to hear a really cool mashup, Yungblud (an artist Avril Lavigne subsequently featured on a future album, presumably at least in part because she discovered this mashup) did a crossover song between this one and Taylor Swift's "Cardigan" for BBC Radio 1 which you can watch here  . Both Lavigne and Swift were fans of the mashup.(253 words) |
