Avril Lavigne has joined forces with blackbear on "Love It When You Hate Me", the second outing from her forthcoming album LOVE SUX.
After announcing her seventh album LOVE SUX earlier this week, Lavigne has delivered a new blackbear collaboration titled "Love It When You Hate Me", which follows November 2021's "Bite Me".
LOVE SUX will follow Lavigne's 2019 album Head Above Water, and will also feature collaborations with Blink-182's Mark Hoppus and Machine Gun Kelly.
In December Lavigne spoke about her new album, calling it a "love letter to women".
"Love It When You Hate Me" featuring blackbear is out now. Avril Lavigne's LOVE SUX album will follow on 25 February via DTA Records.
