Love Sux is the seventh studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, released on February 25, 2022, by DTA and Elektra Records. Her first studio album since Head Above Water (2019), Lavigne worked on Love Sux with various artists including Machine Gun Kelly, Blackbear and Mark Hoppus of Blink-182. Musically, it embraces emo pop angst and Lavigne's early skate punk influences from Blink-182, Green Day, NOFX and the Offspring. The album was preceded by two singles: "Bite Me" and "Love It When You Hate Me".
The album received generally positive reviews from music critics. It debuted at number nine on US Billboard 200 with 30,000 equivalent-album units, of which 19,000 were pure album sales. It also entered the top ten in Australia, Germany, Canada, Japan, and the United Kingdom, among many others. Lavigne promoted Love Sux through a series of public appearances and televised performances. The album was nominated for Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2023.
A deluxe edition of the album was released on November 25, 2022, following the release of the single "I'm a Mess", a collaboration with British singer Yungblud.[1] Love Sux won the Japan Gold Disc Award of Best 3 Albums.
