The Best Damn Thing is the third studio album by
Canadian singer-songwriter
Avril Lavigne. It was released on 17 April 2007 by
RCA Records. The album represents a musical departure from her earlier studio album
Under My Skin (2004) which incorporates more elements of
post-grunge music.
The Best Damn Thing is seen by critics as Lavigne's most commercial effort. The album was noted as her first effort to feature a wide range of producers for the studio album, including Matt Beckley,
Rob Cavallo,
Dr. Luke and Lavigne herself who was referenced as the executive producer.
