Of her new hit vid for Here's To Never Growing Up, Avril explains that she's shooting an official video for the tune, but in the meantime, "We did with the fans like a lyric video, and they submitted a video of themselves, and some images, like photos and stuff, and we put together a lyric video online. … The actual video [theme is] senior prom, and I never went to prom, so it's my first prom and I'm real excited. And I'm wearing a prom dress, but of course we like ripped it up and made it all messy and I've got like a crown on, and it's cool because it's back in high school … so it'll be out in a couple weeks."
