Baring her teeth like never before, the high energy and anthemic "Bite Me" was co-produced by Barker, John Feldmann, and Mod Sun. The official music video - directed by Hannah Lux Davis - is in the final stages of production now. Last week, Avril shared a post on TikTok that teased her signing to DTA Records with a clip of her and Travis performing a snippet of "Bite Me" that has amassed over 10 million views and 1.5 million "likes" in just a few days. Avril had broken the internet earlier this year with her first foray onto the platform: her viral "Sk8er Boi" post co-starring none other than skateboarding legend Tony Hawk. The clip impressively reached 33.9 million views and generated 6.7 million "likes."
Avril is set to launch a world tour in 2022 with dates to be revealed imminently. Stay tuned for much more from Avril Lavigne soon.
