“Sk8er Boi” is a song from Avril Lavigne’s debut album Let Go which was released on Aug. 27, 2002 when Avril was seventeen years old.

This song is about a skater boy that liked a girl who was too stuck up and too worried about her friends' opinions to admit that she liked him back. This was a decision she went on to regret as the skater boy became a successful musician whereas the girl ended up a single mother living alone.

The song did not perform as strong commercially as Lavigne’s previous single from Let Go, which was “Complicated,” but still peaked at #10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
