Avril Lavigne released the new version of “Head Above Water” on 30 August 2019. The track features We the Kings’ Travis Clark, who is also a co-writer of the song.
“Writing ‘Head Above Water’ with Travis Clark from We The Kings was such a beautiful experience,” says Avril. “I started this song during a tough time battling Lyme disease a few years ago and thought my life was over. One night when I was starting to feel better, I had a party at my house and somehow Travis was there. I had never met him before. I found him on my piano and I just thought he was so unbelievably talented, and I asked him to finish the song with me.”
Apart from the new version of the track, Avril Lavigne is also going on her first tour in five years. The tour starts on 14 September (Saturday) in Seattle and concludes on 11 October (Friday) in Philadelphia.
