Avril Lavigne’s greatest hits album has all the music that fans would expect … except for one song. The “Girlfriend” singer decided to keep one track off the album that made numerous headlines back in the day. Unfortunately, most of those headlines were not positive in the slightest. Here’s a look at a song that Lavigne might want to forget.
A song Avril Lavigne left off her greatest hits album was widely viewed as racist
Nylon reports Lavinge’s greatest hits album, which is simply called Avril Lavigne — Greatest Hits, has all of the singer’s classic 2000s chart juggernauts, such as “Complicated,” “Girlfriend,” and “I’m with You.” The 2010s weren’t as kind to Lavigne, as she only scored a few minor hits during that decade, such as “What the Hell,” “Here’s to Never Growing Up,” and “Smile.” Unsurprisingly, those tunes also appear on the upcoming record.

Lavigne – clad all in black, except for her silver skull-and-crossbones belt buckle and the dingy red, white...
