The song opens with a Retro Keyboard Riff and claps which are hypnotizing that makes the song a pop punk, pop song. Song is at a 144 beats per minute performed in A-major. Also the song features Guitar in chorus. The song seems annoying because of the melody but the chorus explodes to the great effect. The song seems even better when Avril starts singing about a relationship gone wrong. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. The song was complimented for its catchiness and also was compared with Avril’s single “Girlfriend” of 2007.The track was selected as one of the best of the album. The theme of the song is about a good girl, who goes on crazy-bender, staying out late, swapping boys and exacting psychological revenge.
The video of the song was telecasted on television on January23, 2011 on ABC family and UK music channel 4Music. The video was directed by Marcus Raboy and recorded in 3D. The video of the track begins with Avril in lingerie lying on bed with his love interest. After a few seconds shot Avril puts on a button down shirt and walks towards her perfume collection and sprays herself with Black Star and Forbidden rose. The video serves as a commercial for Avril’s perfume and clothing. After locking the guy out of apartment the scene changes to clothed Avril walking outside. Then she steals a taxi and goes for a joy ride in a car which crashes into another car. Then she sees group of basketball players where her love interest chases her. She then enters her clothing line store and then climbs on stage and starts performing. The video ends with Avril and her love interest lying on bed again
