The song is basically what it sounds like from its title-an acoustic power ballad-type, Peter Pan-like manifesto about Avril and her buds staying "forever young" against all odds, promising that "we're never gonna change." Whether the song is inspiring or kind of depressing is fully up to listener interpretation, but at the very least, it's a fairly rich portrait of youthfulness-at-all-costs, including spending a weekend partying "for no damn reason, "drinking "a bottle of whatever," and, of course, "yelling kiss my ass" at just about anyone who will listen.
Unavailable digitally for many years, the Trent Reznor, Stabilizer and Tricky remixes are available on the digital compilation Flotsam and Jetsam.Despite being 28 years old, having been world-famous for over a decade, and having gone through a marriage and a divorce (and with another marriage upcoming), Avril Lavigne has never exactly seemed like an artist likely to go through a difficult, mature phase-the first single off her last album was called "What the Hell," and the second single started with the lyrics "You know I'm a crazy bitch / I do what I want when I feel like it."

Some choices were more literal than others, whilst some had meaning which we missed and/or was more relevant/personal to Peter.” For a couple of months myself and Dilly Gent sourced various material to show Peter based on what we had heard and some lyrics we had. “Mostly the singles artwork came from the choices already taken to represent the songs on the album. The cover image was designed by Marc Bessant. The video was directed and produced by Francois Vogel / Notorious Pictures Inc and is cut to the Tom Lord-Alge mix. My brother in-law died of cancer, my parents are getting a little older I’ve seen a couple of friends die and so death has definitely been more present in the last ten years and it‘s been quite interesting in some ways and I’ve read a bit more about it and so on and I think there’s this sense very often that people seem to retain their 17 year old selves through out life in some way, they may peg it at a different age but I don’t think people feel old internally or very rarely.
