As Avril Lavigne created her Love Sux album, her boyfriend, Mod Sun, helped with some of the tracks.
She said,
"He's an incredible songwriter, and when we met, I loved his song' Karma.' I was like, 'Who did you write this with and who produced it?'" Lavigne told Us Weekly of her boyfriend while promoting Love Sux. "And he was like, 'John Feldmann.' And so we got together to work because I was a fan of his music, and he introduced me to Feldmann, and then the three of us just wrote so many songs and had so much fun together."
The "Girlfriend" singer, who met her boyfriend through fellow Love Sux collaborator and DTA Records owner Travis Barker, was initially unsure of pursuing a romance after her past relationships.
"Honestly, I really believed in love. And then I went through the wringer with it," she told Nylon in December 2021.
"Then I finally got back up on my feet and had a relationship just to get f–ked over again. I was just like, 'I can't believe that I've been hurt or mistreated by this many people. I need a break from relationships. I feel like I've had the wind knocked out of me over and over. I'm f–king sick of it. I need to take care of me right now."
Lavigne was previously married to Sum 41 rocker Deryck Whibley from 2006-2010 and Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger from 2013-2015.
Love Sux is Lavigne's first album recorded with her new label, DTA Records, and is available everywhere music is sold and on all major streaming platforms.
