Multiplatinum star Avril Lavigne has unveiled an acoustic version of her new single "Bite Me," available everywhere now. The re-imagined track arrives alongside an official music video, directed by Mod Sun, now streaming on her official YouTube channel.

Her first new music since 2019 and label debut for Travis Barker's DTA Records, "Bite Me" arrived last month to a raft of praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, USA Today, People, and Vulture who called the song "...a full-fledged, pop-punk banger."

To celebrate the arrival of "Bite Me," the eight-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum singer, songwriter, designer, and philanthropist treated fans to the song's first late-night television performance on CBS's The Late Late Show With James Corden, followed by appearances on NBC's The Tonight Starring Jimmy Fallon and the nationally syndicated Ellen DeGeneres Show. Avril is currently on the cover of the December issue of NYLON magazine and is set to ring in 2022 with a performance on the iconic ABC's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. Founded by Barker, DTA Records operates as a worldwide venture with Elektra Music Group.

Avril is set to launch a world tour in 2022 with more dates to be announced. Stay tuned for much more from Avril Lavigne soon.
