The Best Damn Thing is the third album by singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne. The album is said to be less mellow than previous Lavigne albums, and more upbeat. The album was released in America and Canada on April 17, 2007; Australia and in the UK on April 16. The whole album made its radio debut on Ottawa radio station HOT 89.9 at 6:00 pm on April 14, 2007.
The album, thus far, has yielded two commercial singles: "Girlfriend" and "When You're Gone".

Album information:
Lavigne described the record as: "fast, fun, young, bratty, aggressive, confident, cocky in a playful way...all the good stuff."[1] The album is produced by Dr. Luke (Kelly Clarkson, P!nk, Lady Sovereign and Daughtry), her husband Deryck Whibley (Sum 41), Rob Cavallo (Green Day, The Goo Goo Dolls, My Chemical Romance, Jewel), Butch Walker and herself.[2][3] Travis Barker (Box Car Racer, blink-182, +44) has also recorded drums for Lavigne's new album.
On May 5th, Girlfriend reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the same week that The Best Damn Thing (the album) debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, and The Best Damn Thing (the song) was #107 on Billboard Hot 100 (#7 on Bubbling Under Hot 100).
The standard version of the album has had all uses of profanity removed. This applies to four songs, "Girlfriend", "I Can Do Better", "Everything Back But You" and "I Don't Have to Try". In "I Can Do Better", all uses of the word "shit" are replaced with a "shhh" sound, while on "Everything Back But You" the words "bitch" and "slut" are replaced with "hey", similar to those in "Girlfriend". Also, the lyrics "Get ready, motherfucker" is replaced with double "Get ready" in "I Don't Have to Try". Only the CD/DVD version contains the unedited, explicit versions. This version of the album will bear the Parental Advisory label because of instances of profanity; for example, the term "motherfucking" is used in the track "Girlfriend" and "...bitch, slut, psycho babe..." is part of the chorus of "Everything Back But You", although the word "bitch" is unedited on the song "Runaway". It will be Lavigne's first album in the U.S. to bear the label; in some markets the label was used on her second album, Under My Skin (2004).
