Avril Ramona Lavigne

• 2011–present: Fifth studio album
Three months after the release of Goodbye Lullaby, Lavigne announced that work on her fifth studio album had already begun, with eight songs written so far. The new album will musically be the opposite of Goodbye Lullaby. Lavigne explained, "Goodbye Lullaby was more mellow, but the next one will be pop and more fun again. I already have a song that I know is going to be a single, I just need to re-record it!" Later, in July 2011, Lavigne revealed the title of two of the songs from her fifth album as "Fine" and "Gone". The tracks were originally recorded for Goodbye Lullaby but never made the final cut. It has also been confirmed that Lavigne is working with music production duo The Runners on the upcoming album.
Lavigne's fifth album is rumoured to be released in 2012; however, no release date has yet been confirmed by Lavigne or her record label. In October 2011, Lavigne stated in an interview with Virgin Radio 96 that she would begin production on the album by January 2012. In late 2011, Lavigne confirmed that she had moved to Epic Records which is now headed by L.A. Reid.
