Under My Skin is the second studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne. It was released firstly in Europe on May 21, 2004 then it followed the release in the rest of the world on May 25, 2004 by Arista Records and RCA Records. Lavigne wrote most of the album with singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, who invited her to a Malibu in-house recording studio shared by Kreviazuk and her husband Raine Maida, where Lavigne recorded many of the songs. The album was produced by Maida, Don Gilmore, and Butch Walker. It is Lavigne`s second and final studio album to be released on Arista, following Let Go (2002). It was also her first album for RCA.

Under My Skin debuted at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart and on the US Billboard 200. It sold three million copies in the United States, ranking the album number 149 on the Billboard 200 decade-end chart.[1] Because of the album`s darker, heavier, more aggressive vibe reminiscent of post-grunge and more melodic rock songs, it received generally positive reception from critics at the point of considering it as one of the classic albums that defined pop-punk music in the early 00s (despite it not being usually classified as such),[2] and also one of the works that anticipated the emotional intensity and theatrical aesthetics of emo pop music in the mainstream.[3][4] On March 18, 2013, Under My Skin was re-released as a double-disc set paired with her debut studio album, Let Go, which was released under Arista Records. To promote the album, Lavigne went on a promotional tour for malls in the United States and Canada. Furthermore, Lavigne embarked on a concert tour, entitled the Bonez Tour, starting on September 26, 2004, and ending one year later on September 26, 2005. The concert at the Budokan arena in Japan was filmed and released on a DVD only available in Japan, entitled Bonez Tour 2005: Live at Budokan. Under My Skin has sold over 10 million copies worldwide and is the fifth best selling album of the 21st century by a Canadian artist.[5]

Critics described Under My Skin as post-grunge,[6][7][8][9][10] alternative rock,[11] and nu metal[12][13][14][15][16][17][18] containing some gothic rock,[19] grunge,[20] folk rock,[21] and hard rock[21] influences.

Background
Having no plans of working with producers or professional writers,[22] Lavigne wrote much of the album with Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, with whom she had developed a friendship in the summer of 2003. Kreviazuk, whose husband Raine Maida`s band Our Lady Peace opened for Lavigne`s concert in Europe, introduced herself at an after-party for the SARS benefit concerts held in Toronto in June 2003. The following day, Lavigne and Kreviazuk ate lunch together,[23] during which Lavigne shared how she wanted the development of the album to be. They wrote songs for almost three weeks at Maida`s warehouse in Toronto. Kreviazuk invited Lavigne to continue working in a Malibu, California house she shared with Maida, which contained a recording studio.[24] Many of the tracks on the album were recorded in Malibu.

Kreviazuk suggested Maida produce songs for the album, an ability Lavigne did not possess. Maida produced five songs, including `Fall to Pieces`, which he co-wrote with Lavigne.[24] Lavigne also invited two other producers: Don Gilmore, who produced three songs, two of which were written by Lavigne and Kreviazuk,[24] and Butch Walker who also produced three songs in three days.[25] Lavigne also co-wrote one track, `Nobody`s Home`, with Ben Moody, formerly of Evanescence, and the rest with her guitarist Evan Taubenfeld.[26][23]

On her website, Lavigne states that she had learned a lot since her first record, Let Go: `I was involved in every aspect of making this record. I`m very hands-on. I knew how I wanted the drums, the guitar tones, and the structures to be. I understand the whole process so much better this time because I`ve been through it. I`m really picky with my sound.`[27][23] Regarding the album`s theme, Lavigne stated, `I`ve gone through so much, so that`s what I talk about....Like boys, like dating or relationships`.[28]
