Avril Lavigne

One of Avril Lavigne’s biggest hits, “Girlfriend,” is a track about liking a man who’s taken by an unworthy partner. Lavigne wrote the song while drunk, not realizing until the next morning that she had a hit on her hands.

The song and video have broken numerous records since their releases. The track debuted at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100, which is the highest debut of her career, and later topped the chart. The video was for a time the most-viewed video on YouTube. The song eventually topped the charts in eight countries.

The song has received numerous remixes in which Lavigne sings the chorus in another language. Some of the languages include Italian, Spanish, and French.
