Wow it seems like this album is going to be seriously heavy!
Avril Lavigne has just released her first album in 4 years 'Goodbye Lullaby' and she has revealed that she began writing the record just as she announced her split from husband Derek Whibley from Sum 41.
Avril says it's her most personal album yet and she's very proud of it:
"I’m so excited. I feel like I’ve taken so long to make this album. Now that it’s actually coming out this week and I get to hold it in my hands, it’s very surreal but it’s very exciting. I’m so proud of it. It’s a record that really means a lot to me."
The 26-year-old Canadian singer admits that she held nothing back in her songwriting this time round. And although she knows people will be asking personal questions about each song, she wanted her lyrics to be real:
"I challenged myself and told myself to not hold back with the songwriting. Sometimes you can like, think, ‘What are people going to ask me about this song? What does that mean?’ But for me, I just allowed myself to kind of go there and to be really real."

The singer, who is now dating former 'Hills' star Brody Jenner says the title song 'Goodbye Lullaby' was heartbreaking to write,sing and even perform:
"It’s the most emotional song I’ve ever written. I wrote the song on my own and I produced it, so I’m really close to it. I had a really hard time singing it. It’s a really hard thing to sing when you’re right about to cry! It was that real. My voice is shaky in it. I don’t know if I’ll ever sing this long live."
Even though the song is difficult to sing, Avril says she's glad she put it on her record and she's had great feedback so far:
"The reaction from my friends, people I work with, my family, anyone who’s heard the songs – [they] cried! It’s like, ‘Wow.’ When you really go there and have those moments that mean that much and are that real, other people connect with that. I’m glad I went for those moments on this album."
