We are four days away from Avril Lavigne brand new album, Head Above Water and she just released a third single off of the album.  It’s called ‘Dumb Blonde’ and it features Nicki Minaj.

 

 

Avril’s latest single ‘Dumb Blonde’ follows the album’s lead tracks, ‘Head Above Water’ and ‘Tell Me It’s Over.’  This will be Avril’s forthcoming sixth studio album and it’s her first album since being diagnosed with Lyme Disease back in 2014.
Nicki tweeted, “I used to drive to my job at Red Lobster playing this woman’s album for an hour straight everyday for months.  Crying to ‘I’m With You,’ blasting ‘Complicated,’ ‘Things I’ll Never Say,’ ‘Nobody’s Fool,’ ‘Sk8er Boi.’  This woman is so unbelievably talented.”

 

Avril then tweeted in response to Nicki, “Nicki Minaj is my favourite! I’ve been listening to her for so long.  As soon as I recorded #DumbBlonde, I knew she’d be the perfect artist to collaborate with on it.  When she said yes it was like a dream come true! I can’t wait for everyone to hear!”

 

 

It’s clean Nicki has been a fan of Avril’s for some time and vice-versa.  On Instagram Nicki wrote, “If you know me you know how long I’ve been a fan of hers. You couldn’t tell me I wasn’t hitting EVERY note on “I’m with you” in the shower.”  

Avril had a few kind words to share about her collaborator, “Nicki is such a talented, strong woman and driving force. I listen to Fly, Starships and Bed all the time. Having her on the song is so special to me. We wrote Dumb Blonde as an anthem for anyone who has been stereotyped or talked down to. Keep your confidence up and don’t let anyone tell you how to be. I hope you love it!”

 

 

Check out the lyrics below.

 

[Intro: Nicki Minaj]
Young Money

[Chorus: Avril Lavigne]
I ain’t no dumb blonde
I ain’t no stupid Barbie doll
I got my game on
You gon’ watch me, watch me, watch me prove you wrong

[Verse 1: Avril Lavigne]
Well, there you go again tellin’ me where I belong
You put me on the bench, don’t think that I can play strong
So quick to condescend, well, you think I’m empty, I’m not
You won’t be so confident when I’m crushin’ you from the top (Oh)

[Refrain: Avril Lavigne]
I’m a babe, I’m a boss and I’m makin’ this money (Uh-huh)
I can flip like a switch and I cut like a blade (Try to get it now)
I can sting like a bee, but I’m sweeter than honey (Uh-huh)
And I’m quick as a whip so get outta my way (Come and get it now)

[Pre-Chorus: Avril Lavigne]
I ain’t no dumb blonde
I ain’t no stupid Barbie doll
I got my game on (Just watch me)
Watch me, watch me, watch me prove you wrong
I ain’t no dumb blonde (Nuh-uh)
I am a freaking cherry bomb (That’s right)
I’ll be your icon
Watch me, watch me, watch me prove you wrong

[Chorus: Avril Lavigne]
Stand up everybody
Get up, say it loud
We’re bombshells raisin’ hell now
Watch me, watch me, watch me prove you wrong
Stand up everybody
Get up, say it loud
We’re bombshells raisin’ hell now
Watch me, watch me, watch me prove you wrong

[Verse 2: Avril Lavigne]
Well, there you go again, you’re talkin’ down on me (Huh)
I may look innocent, don’t underestimate me (Uh-uh)
I’m gold, I’m platinum, don’t you know I’m outta your league? (I’m so outta your league)
Step back, your time is up, sit down, I’m takin’ the lead (Oh)

[Refrain: Avril Lavigne]
I’m a babe, I’m a boss and I’m makin’ this money (Uh-huh)
I can flip like a switch and I cut like a blade (Try to get it now)
I can sting like a bee, but I’m sweeter than honey (Uh-huh)
And I’m quick as a whip so get outta my way (Come and get it now)

[Pre-Chorus: Avril Lavigne]

[Chorus: Avril Lavigne]

[Verse 3: Nicki Minaj]
Yo, I ain’t playin’, but I won the cup
Came through heavy on it in the Bentley truck (Uh-huh)
It was me, young Avril, security tucked (Okay)
In the back just in case one of y’all run up (Rrr)
One of y’all, um, um, all of y’all be stuck (Uh-huh)
When you see a young queen in the flesh, what’s up? (What up?)
All the hatin’ you was doin’ got the Barbie poppin’
Now all of ’em wanna be a Barbie, I’m watchin’
But you never gon’ stop me, never gon’ top me
Millions on millions, they never gon’ dock me (What else?)
I am the prototype, the pinkprint (Uh-huh)
And no, I don’t want no frauds, wink, wink

[Pre-Chorus: Avril Lavigne]
