Probably, this album is the longest album and full of emotion created by Avril. Vulnerable period of 4 years from her last album The Best Damn Thing and all the drama that happened in her life makes this album sounds more emotional. She stated for Billboard,“a lot of the songs are mainly the acoustic and my vocal. It’s a lot different from anything I’ve done before. It’s not a pop rock record. This is more about emotion and feeling.”
Frankly, we can feel that this album contains a farewell. On the other hand, we will hear a decision about forgetting and moving on. Her biggest inspiration for Goodbye Lullaby of course comes from her ex-husband, Deryck Whibley.
