As a black teen back in the day I lived for Avril and her music.Seeing someone like Willow doing a collab with her is an out of body experience because my inner child feels seen and represented.I’m a grown adult with kids of my own now but I am living for this! Willow’s voice is amazing and I hope she has a long career ahead.
I might not listen to Willow actively, but one thing's for sure: Whenever I randomly come across one of her songs, I always appreciate her authenticity, experimental ability & commitment, and overall artistry.
whyd you have to go and make things so complicated? i see the way youre acting like youre somebody else. gets me frustrated. simply admit that i am the funniest and greatest and sm*rtest and coolest and strongest yout*ber of all time! admit it, dear crepy goown
To think that Willow was 5 years old when Avril recorded "Girlfriend" and now 15 years later they're on a song together with the same style that was around back then. I love it.
Willow is so versatile. She can comfortably jump from genre to genre and excel in each one. Its impressive and incredibly difficult to be able to do this transition as flawlessly as she has been able to do it. I write and produce my own music and have come to appreciate how much work and talent is needed to succeed in the music industry. Willow has more talent in her pinky toe than I have in my entire body. She is truly a jack of all trades and has plenty of growing left to do still. She is so creative and her potential is unlimited. I hope I can see the same kind of growth in my own music as I continue learning and practicing. I got a long ways to go! Great song Willow! 🔥❤️
It's 2021, you're in your 30s and Willow Smith has just dug Avril Lavigne out of her cryogenic chamber and is making a solid attempt at bringing pop punk back. A single tear rolls down your cheek.
I mean not all of Avril’s fans who grew up with her music are in their 30’s like there’s a good amount of OG fans who are close to being 30 or they’re in their 20’s. 😸
Maybe she's bringing back her old style 'cause is on trending again... and don't get me wrong, I love her music, but is a fact, just wait a couple of years...
I really like how Willow always gives the dark punk lyrics a twist by throwing philosophical guidance in there, that there's a way to get better. They're both killing it!
I love that Travis Barker is the only drummer (I know of) that is marked as featured on any song he's involved in. It's always the singers featured, but Travis has taken that idea and run with it. If Travis is drumming in a track, YOU KNOW IT.
I thought the exact same thing. It felt like Willow was trying to emulate what she thinks a rock star should look like. Repeatedly sticking her tongue out (editors fault not hers) and the hand gestures came off as unnatural. When Avril hit the screen she seemed so natural and in her element. The scene where Willow is playing the guitar seems more natural for her but I still couldn't take my eyes off of Avril.
They compliment each other. Avril has matured and it shows. She was exactly the same as Willow when she was younger, jumping a lover the place. And I wouldn’t call this “rock”. It’s more “pop rock”, candy floss 😊
Willow knows how to capture an audience. She inherited her parents' great work ethic. You go girl! I'm nearly 50 so this isn't my favorite jam but I'm proud of you
So? Every generation has their own version of this song since bout early 1990's, unless ur willing to go back n include Runaways with Cherry bomb etc (when females were allowed to express themselves in this way and genre). I think far better than a v.sappy song bout being cool with a partner treating u like shit. 🤘 Gotta b honest was surprised with Avril joining, just coz she's become a bible basher in life n leaks into her new music, lotta behind scenes stuff not gonna go in2. Point being: if start pop with more assertive sound for females with Runaways 50+ years ago. Avril like some females in former yrs/decades, is giving this new opportunity for new generation of females a voice. Though no doubt Avril is also trying to give her own brand bitta relevance 2day 🤔
This song takes me back to 2003 to 2006 when this kind of rock was the only music i listened to coz it had good meaning & spoke to me personally.❤i used to relate to most of it's message.

Okay, this is EVERYTHING!!! This reminds me of the older Avril Lavigne music videos like Don't Tell Me and Complicated. “Grow,” is an anthem about self-care and doing all things necessary to advance on the journey towards self-improvement. And Willow was greatly inpired by Avril, not only because both started so young, but because she realized that she could ROCK without being too dark or angst. Other reasons are that she want to break the tensions and barriers of being a black artist in the rock industry. Willow has always pointed out how much she want to make changes, committed to art-making as a mode of progress and critical thinking and also being vulnerable. And can we talk about Avril Lavigne aka the motherfucking princess, PLEASE??!!
Kids that were born in the days when most of us were teenagers and used to listen to this kind of happy punk/pop punk now are bringing back the nostalgia of a better time but using motivational lyrics because being sad all the time is not a fashion statement anymore.
@@swagknightxAS someone born in 91. This was 98 for me lol… 2000 was more hip hop then 2005 came along and it was about being scene. So idk why you’re talking about.
@@donnrichardlomboy8374 As someone born in '86, I have no clue what you're talking about. Pop punk had been a huge thing since the mid 90s. Only problem was the early 2000s was full of bands all trying to rip off Blink 182's success, but none of them realized that Blink 182 was successful because they didn't take themselves seriously.
@@patrisejupi5959 true. Im happy these kinds of music is being released left and right, but you are right. Thats just the way it is :( however, I enjoy 2000's kinds of songs being released lately.
@@patrisejupi5959 it's not people's mindset that change, but "the people", the millennial and gen Z mostly prefer EDM and hiphop, and prefer dance than playing instruments.
@@lauren1211 absolutely, but since this music is slowly starting to gain a bigger following again, we need to stop comparing it to older stuff. Until this new wave of pop punk/alt rock music can truly fight its way back into the mainstream music (like hitting the Hot 40 on a daily basis, being played on pop radio, get millions and millions of streams, etc), it has to establish it’s cred as a popular genre again. Even the few successful pop punk-style songs of the last year are still treated like nostaglic blasts-from-the-pasts, and that needs to stop. That’s how the stupid Olivia Rodrigo/Misery Business thing happened.
obviously we know willow is in her prime but MY GIRL AVRIL’S STILL GOT IT!!!!! i remember being obsessed with “girlfriend” as a kid and it makes me so happy to see her back in this genre supporting younger artists❤️
@@spacecadet2789 I thought she wass 13, not 9 when that came out… not that 13 is any better. I swear this is a total Mandela Effect for me. I’m not sure how to justify a 4 year discrepancy!?.!?.!?.’ Maybe I though she was older? Or maybe the song came out later on in life? I really don’t know how all that works when it comes to the ME? Now, I do know that at an earlier age, she had told her parents she wanted to age… and then around 15, she decided to step back from acting, music, and/ or “public eye”!!! And then around 22 or so, she sort of re-emerged from the background to form a band and sing and perform as a lead in her pop/ punk band…. Ahhh and see, here I am putting Willow’s age at 22 and she’s only 20. Doesn’t surprise me one bit that there isn’t timeline discrepancy within my memory of her timeline and reality today. I could have sworn when I saw her “story” being discussed, it was all pushed back and st an older age. For me, her hair whip incident was 13. Her dissapearing to “find” herself and be a “normal” teen, was around 15 and then her brother, Jayden, took over the limelight, and allowed her to sink into the background. Then around 19 she formed a band, wrote the album, and has been playing around LA in the pop/ punk underground scene. . I really thought she was 23. How strange!! It’s almost like the birth of who came first and who came second was reversed in this timeline. I swear, Willow was older than Jayden. And I had to look it all up.. and Jayden is older than Willow. I’m completely freaked out! Like this is a real ME for me.
I love how current artists still ask for Avril collabs every time they do a pop/punk-rock song. I've been listening to her since I was in elementary school. I'm 20 plus now and she looks the same age as me. A true unproblematic rock princess and icon who stayed true to her style. Waiting for an Olivia Rodrigo-Avril Lavigne collab. That would be so cool.
Well the reason she looks young still, apart from living a healthy lifestyle, exercising, using good skin care products and the like, is that.... She's a vampire.
First of all, pop-punk is absolutely everything. Secondly, are we gonna ignore KennyHoopla's cameo??? No, no we aren't. I'm so proud of Travis doing all he can to keep pop-punk alive, but with a touch of modern twist. I AM LIVING FOR THIS!!! Willow has an amazing voice built for this. Avril is just nostalgia lane and still the punk rock chick we all love. This was the collab we didn't know we needed. 💜💜💜
Man i wish she was around back in my highschool days 15 years ago!! When i was deep into my emo/scene phase and listening to everything from Paramore and 3 days grace to My Chem ,SOAD and of course Avril (btw that "phase" turned out to be a life long love lol ). Seeing people who look like me in this punk rock scene killing it is incredible! Willow, KennyHoopla, Jasiah etc are absolutely killing it. Also, mad respect to Travis Barker for playing a part in all these new upcoming artists and supporting them
Dang what did Avril eat to keep herself so youthful. She's looking like how she was in 2002. This sounds so nostalgic. Good for Willow to finally find herself and grow grow grow grow
@@eanalbe3525 I am eating healthy nutritious food daily, exercise and drink 3L water daily and yet 😅 but i know she must have secret potion/elixir 🤭 hahaha joking
What a banger! The music reminds me of 2000s pop punk and pop rock songs from kid/teen movies/shows. It gives me strong "Camp Rock" and "The Barbie Diaries" vibes. Anyway, seeing Avril and Willow singing and playing guitars together reminds me of the new Barbie movie "Barbie: Big City, Big Dreams". Avril is the Malibu Barbie while Willow is the Brooklyn Barbie.
as soon as avril's part kicks in you can IMMEDIATELY tell why she became so famous back in her time. Her voice, her energy, her vibe... everything fits the genre perfectly. Love you avril
The only thing wrong with this song is that it's too short!! I wish they would've added a 3rd verse and stretched it out to 3 minutes, but I guess leaving your fans wanting MORE isn't a bad thing 😎🎤🎸🎶
@@gmoney7905 Lol wdym cap? No other woman has had the same success as her in Pop Punk especially at the age of 17 and now she's 38 and people still play her music lol
Avril Lavigne is back, we want you to have another world hit, everyone should listen to your beautiful voice and apart from your beauty you do not age❤❤
Bravo ! I'm a 90's kid so the early 2000s sound really hits home for me. If this is the direction you take your music...I hope it goes big. I would love if there was a resurgence of the 2000s punk vybes ! And yes....I'm a big fan of Avril Lavigne too.
i feel it coming back.. the emo years.. i think emily rodrigues kicked it off with that good for u track, basically copying paramore.. but she is too much of a metro looking cheerleader girl to be in that style of music.. willow however suits the part..
@@mj9608 yep. And as I said in the other comment, this opens the door for more black rockers to show their true rocker without the social pressure of "not being authentically black." I hated having to hide my liking for RHCP, Blink182 etc as a teenager because it wasn't considered "black music" And in all honesty...I think this is the best Willow has ever sounded. Everything on this last album sounds 🔥 !
Amando que a vibe pop punk anos 2000 está de volta! Avril foi uma das pioneiras e merece todo reconhecimento. E Willow está impecável, muito bom ver uma mulher negra neste estilo musical que é tão dominado por brancos. 🖤

Seriously Willow Smith is helping us black women get out of our comfort zone and start changing our appearances, I have wanted to be Gothic for a long time and lots of hate comments can really bring someone down, but now that ik that I'm not alone.. i wanna explore!
Reminds of my teen years. Great young years they once were, and somehow I remember them vividly. My favorite punk pop singer, Avril Lavigne, who got me into rock music when I was a teen. Definitely helped me find my sense of self, and helped owned who I am. For her, Avril Lavigne to walk Willow through the punk pop doors/ alternative lifestyle, is such a beautiful moment.
Chill out, what ya yellin' for? Lay back, it's all been done before. And if you could only let it be, you will see that I am the funniest YouT*ber of all time. Admit it, my dear follow*r DJ
Nah Avril just mixed her vocals better. Whoever is mixing and mastering Willow's vocals needs to be fired. Both of their vocals should be louder though.
Avril is surely never getting older, She is forever young and lovely
@Xavier Hirini She looks 17 bro

Only problem was the early 2000s was full of bands all trying to rip off Blink 182's success, but none of them realized that Blink 182 was successful because they didn't take themselves seriously.
When Avril showed up I'm smiling like idiots, she really come back
Avril’s single “Bite Me” is on its way. So get ready my friend
Am back to the 2000s!! 😍😍 I love this
The sounds that put Avril at the top of the world seems to returned. I wish this kind of early 2000's wave dominated the music scene again.
It literally is rn look around Olivia, MgK, JXDN, Yungblud, Lil lotus, Willow, Avril and AtC all brought it back and ESPECIALLY Travis Barker.
Its Not the same anymore. The vibe and authenticity is gone and peoples mindset has changed like completely.
@@patrisejupi5959 true. Im happy these kinds of music is being released left and right, but you are right. Thats just the way it is :( however, I enjoy 2000's kinds of songs being released lately.
@@patrisejupi5959 it's not people's mindset that change, but "the people", the millennial and gen Z mostly prefer EDM and hiphop, and prefer dance than playing instruments.
It will as the kids of yesterday become adults the 90s not trendy anymore
the early 2000's vibes are immaculate. this is exactly the type of music i've been missing!!
No it doesn’t! Yeah it’s a pop punk song, but it sounds more like the 2020’s revival stuff than it sounds 2000’s.
@@pickles224 yea ur right, but it’s still a dope song tho
@@lauren1211 absolutely, but since this music is slowly starting to gain a bigger following again, we need to stop comparing it to older stuff.
Until this new wave of pop punk/alt rock music can truly fight its way back into the mainstream music (like hitting the Hot 40 on a daily basis, being played on pop radio, get millions and millions of streams, etc), it has to establish it’s cred as a popular genre again. Even the few successful pop punk-style songs of the last year are still treated like nostaglic blasts-from-the-pasts, and that needs to stop. That’s how the stupid Olivia Rodrigo/Misery Business thing happened.

Dude Avril literally looks th same as she did when she was 18.
Avril is a gorgeous goddess! She is the girl of my dreams........ ;)
The fact that she is an excellent rocker makes her even more desirable.
Right!! She never freakin aged!!!! Look amazing I wana know wtf kind of face cream or whatever the hell she's using lol
Did she even grow lmao I think she used a time machine or sth
Avril is a icon forever
I thought she was missing?😂
Love this songs
Avril hasn't aged, Willow has a killer voice and punk rock is not dead.
Well...this has nothing to do with punk-rock.
@@MuumiMamma85 oh shit here we go again..
Because she drinks babies’ blood

obviously we know willow is in her prime but MY GIRL AVRIL’S STILL GOT IT!!!!! i remember being obsessed with “girlfriend” as a kid and it makes me so happy to see her back in this genre supporting younger artists❤️
Absolutely!!!!
I don't think you understand what prime means.
@@zhulza how so
YES! I kinda wish Avril Lavigne did the girlfriend dance though

11 years on and Willow is still 'whipping her hair’. Love it
It blew my mind to find out she was 9 when that released 😭
@@spacecadet2789 I thought she wass 13, not 9 when that came out… not that 13 is any better. I swear this is a total Mandela Effect for me. I’m not sure how to justify a 4 year discrepancy!?.!?.!?.’
Maybe I though she was older? Or maybe the song came out later on in life? I really don’t know how all that works when it comes to the ME? Now, I do know that at an earlier age, she had told her parents she wanted to age… and then around 15, she decided to step back from acting, music, and/ or “public eye”!!!
And then around 22 or so, she sort of re-emerged from the background to form a band and sing and perform as a lead in her pop/ punk band….
Ahhh and see, here I am putting Willow’s age at 22 and she’s only 20. Doesn’t surprise me one bit that there isn’t timeline discrepancy within my memory of her timeline and reality today. I could have sworn when I saw her “story” being discussed, it was all pushed back and st an older age. For me, her hair whip incident was 13. Her dissapearing to “find” herself and be a “normal” teen, was around 15 and then her brother, Jayden, took over the limelight, and allowed her to sink into the background. Then around 19 she formed a band, wrote the album, and has been playing around LA in the pop/ punk underground scene. . I really thought she was 23. How strange!! It’s almost like the birth of who came first and who came second was reversed in this timeline. I swear, Willow was older than Jayden. And I had to look it all up.. and Jayden is older than Willow. I’m completely freaked out! Like this is a real ME for me.
@@glowingsme7943 bruh chill
@@glowingsme7943 mucho texto xd
This collaboration is awesome.
I love this so much. It sounds like a opening of a 2000s teen series. It's so nostalgic.
Yay 😁
ruclips.net/video/L0rpkuk4WWU/видео.html 🖤
I love how current artists still ask for Avril collabs every time they do a pop/punk-rock song. I've been listening to her since I was in elementary school. I'm 20 plus now and she looks the same age as me. A true unproblematic rock princess and icon who stayed true to her style. Waiting for an Olivia Rodrigo-Avril Lavigne collab. That would be so cool.
Well the reason she looks young still, apart from living a healthy lifestyle, exercising, using good skin care products and the like, is that.... She's a vampire.
@@georgio3753 I highly believe that.
First of all, pop-punk is absolutely everything. Secondly, are we gonna ignore KennyHoopla's cameo??? No, no we aren't. I'm so proud of Travis doing all he can to keep pop-punk alive, but with a touch of modern twist. I AM LIVING FOR THIS!!! Willow has an amazing voice built for this. Avril is just nostalgia lane and still the punk rock chick we all love. This was the collab we didn't know we needed. 💜💜💜
🙌yes they slayed this🥰🔥🔥🔥💐❤🎶
I thought I was the only one who noticed Kenny it was cool to see him here.
Yoooo I'm glad I ain't the only one that noticed 😅
Did you really call this "pop punk"? LOL
Man i wish she was around back in my highschool days 15 years ago!! When i was deep into my emo/scene phase and listening to everything from Paramore and 3 days grace to My Chem ,SOAD and of course Avril (btw that "phase" turned out to be a life long love lol ). Seeing people who look like me in this punk rock scene killing it is incredible! Willow, KennyHoopla, Jasiah etc are absolutely killing it. Also, mad respect to Travis Barker for playing a part in all these new upcoming artists and supporting them
2000's theme tune hype music. Perfect way to start the day everyday. It's literately like main character music.

This is very Avril of the 2000's!!!! And we MISS IT SO MUCH!!!
Agree

Dang what did Avril eat to keep herself so youthful. She's looking like how she was in 2002. This sounds so nostalgic. Good for Willow to finally find herself and grow grow grow grow
She's look older but still beautiful.
@@eanalbe3525 She's just a year older than me but look way better. I want her secret potions 😆
@@varideasfitidea maybe eat healthy food 😅
@@eanalbe3525 I am eating healthy nutritious food daily, exercise and drink 3L water daily and yet 😅 but i know she must have secret potion/elixir 🤭 hahaha joking
CELEBRITIES ARE EATING BABIES SACRIFICING THEM
Even the video aesthetics and flow is nostalgic
The pop rock queen and princess have reunited! 🖤⚡
Yessss!👏👏👑🎸⚡🖤🖤
bro when avril said here's to never growing up, she really meant it
She didn't age since 2007 i think
i wasted a lot of time on RUclips She looks amazing.
Lmaoo soo true
What a banger! The music reminds me of 2000s pop punk and pop rock songs from kid/teen movies/shows. It gives me strong "Camp Rock" and "The Barbie Diaries" vibes.
Anyway, seeing Avril and Willow singing and playing guitars together reminds me of the new Barbie movie "Barbie: Big City, Big Dreams". Avril is the Malibu Barbie while Willow is the Brooklyn Barbie.
Sk8er boi video, too!!
This is so accurate 😭
Your comment describe my exact thoughts
😂😂
❤️
You’re singing makes me confident and I love that you sing❤❤❤❤❤❤
It seems that Avril Lavigne doesn't age even jus a little! This is very nostalgic, her kind of genre. Where I started to love her.
knml
Its pop punk

Hahahhahaa
That would be a good line for a song
as soon as avril's part kicks in you can IMMEDIATELY tell why she became so famous back in her time. Her voice, her energy, her vibe... everything fits the genre perfectly. Love you avril
love the message of the song
The music industry isn't ready for Avril's return especially with all the talented people shes collaborating with such as Willow
@三上美春👇🌈 bruh im gay
Avril never age she's a vampire who agrees

The only thing wrong with this song is that it's too short!! I wish they would've added a 3rd verse and stretched it out to 3 minutes, but I guess leaving your fans wanting MORE isn't a bad thing 😎🎤🎸🎶
I’m just now realizing how short this song is. 😭
ruclips.net/video/L0rpkuk4WWU/видео.html
That's just a classic punk tradition, songs that hit hard and fast, then fuck off!
@@mrsnulch Very true! There are lots of Green Day, Violet Femmes, Ramones songs that I wish were longer too, but still quite happy with all of them 😁😁
this is insanely underrated. it should have atleast 20m+ views!
I love the themes in this song! Being confused is neither right or wrong. Emotional health is so important! Thanks Willow! Thanks Avril!
Now at 40yrs old, I can confirm that this very much true!!
ok but this is so wholesome considering avril has a song called ''heres to never growing up"
Real music ❤ 🎵
IM LOVING THIS VIBE 😍😍😍😍
bro me too 😍
Shhh
voib*
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Don’t you mean VOOIIBBEEEE
Avril is 17 years older than willow and still somehow matches her energy!
This woman is unreal 🙏🏻
Well Avril is the blueprint for girlie pop punk
😅🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
@@gmoney7905 Lol wdym cap? No other woman has had the same success as her in Pop Punk especially at the age of 17 and now she's 38 and people still play her music lol
Avril Lavigne is back, we want you to have another world hit, everyone should listen to your beautiful voice and apart from your beauty you do not age❤❤
Avril Lavigne 💕😍
the two are so beautiful
Oh my God, this vibe reminds me of the 90's, early 2000's, when the world was ok. More of this please. I LOVE THIS❤️
I’ll keep writing stuff!
The queen of pop-punk is here!!
Bravo !
I'm a 90's kid so the early 2000s sound really hits home for me.
If this is the direction you take your music...I hope it goes big. I would love if there was a resurgence of the 2000s punk vybes !
And yes....I'm a big fan of Avril Lavigne too.
i feel it coming back.. the emo years.. i think emily rodrigues kicked it off with that good for u track, basically copying paramore.. but she is too much of a metro looking cheerleader girl to be in that style of music.. willow however suits the part..
@@mj9608 yep. And as I said in the other comment, this opens the door for more black rockers to show their true rocker without the social pressure of "not being authentically black."
I hated having to hide my liking for RHCP, Blink182 etc as a teenager because it wasn't considered "black music"
And in all honesty...I think this is the best Willow has ever sounded. Everything on this last album sounds 🔥 !
Maravilloso que Willow colabore con Avril para darse a conocer aun más.
Increíble el rollo de Willow, necesaria. ♥️
Amando que a vibe pop punk anos 2000 está de volta! Avril foi uma das pioneiras e merece todo reconhecimento. E Willow está impecável, muito bom ver uma mulher negra neste estilo musical que é tão dominado por brancos. 🖤

Lyrics
I been putting work in, healing myself
Still got room to grow
I been really searching emotional wealth
Honestly my heart is broke
I just need to
Grow, grow, grow
Grow, grow, grow
Grow, grow, grow
I just need to, I just need to grow
Every time I look at my face
I feel everything it's the same growing pains
'Cause no one ever truly knows just who they are
And I feel closer knowing I don't have to hide my scars
I hope you know you're not alone
Being confused ain't right or wrong
You'll find that you're your own best friend
And no, that ain't a fuckin' metaphor
I been putting work in, healing myself
Still got room to grow
I been really searching emotional wealth
Honestly my heart is broke
I just need to
Grow, grow, grow
Grow, grow, grow
Grow, grow, grow
I just need to, I just need to grow
Every time I look at my face
I can't help but feel like I lost my way
'Cause no one ever truly knows just who they are
And I feel closer when I'm laying looking at the stars
I hope you know you're not alone
Being confused ain't right or wrong
You'll find that you're your own best friend
And no, that ain't a fuckin' metaphor
I been putting work in, healing myself
Still got room to grow
I been really searching emotional wealth
Honestly my heart is broke
I just need to
Grow, grow, grow
Grow, grow, grow (I just need to grow)
Grow, grow, grow
I just need to, I just need to grow
Needed this song!
I’ve missed this era of music ! The pop punk rock music has been truly missed . You got Avril on a track that’s major ❤️❤️💫
This sounds like a theme song to a cheesy teen sitcom that wasn’t renewed for a second season.
This is a core memory from my childhood
Naturally Sadie
lmfao!!!!!!! it does sound a bit corny, but it grows on you
Lmao
Perfect comment
This but in the best possible way
Imagine a heart from willowsmith
Ikr😫🖐
*that would be something you would have to screen shot*
She goes by one stage name “Willow”
I got one once and then she deleted it :(
Luckily I still have the screenshot
She viewed my insta story and i feel that's a life achievement tbh ahahah
This is an unexpectedly great combination.
I’m just imagining the main character in a 2000s disney movie getting ready to this song
ruclips.net/video/L0rpkuk4WWU/видео.html
Seriously Willow Smith is helping us black women get out of our comfort zone and start changing our appearances, I have wanted to be Gothic for a long time and lots of hate comments can really bring someone down, but now that ik that I'm not alone.. i wanna explore!
Go for it girl!
Absolutely go for it
Rock it babe!
Remember Aliyyah. She wasn’t afraid to do the goth look
❤️ go for it
The only bad thing about this song is that it's too short
Reminds of my teen years. Great young years they once were, and somehow I remember them vividly.
My favorite punk pop singer, Avril Lavigne, who got me into rock music when I was a teen. Definitely helped me find my sense of self, and helped owned who I am.
For her, Avril Lavigne to walk Willow through the punk pop doors/ alternative lifestyle, is such a beautiful moment.
AMAZING!!!! Avril and WILLOW are truly incredible artists. Come to Brazil queens!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Beautiful songs, very good. Excellent👏😉

The voice of Avril Lavigne hits different, she's so unique. I love her!
Nah Avril just mixed her vocals better. Whoever is mixing and mastering Willow's vocals needs to be fired. Both of their vocals should be louder though.
