Under My Skin
From WikiMusicGuide, the free music guide. Your music wiki.
Under My Skin is the second album of pop singer Avril Lavigne. Many says that it features a more grown-up Avril Lavigne. Avril states that she has 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 know 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."

'Under My Skin' was released on May 25, 2004 by Arista Records. Avril Lavigne wrote much of the album with Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Krevlazuk. She also co-wrote one track, "Nobody's Home", with Ben Moody. Much of the album was recorded in Maida's Malibu studios, as Maida is Krevlazuk's husband, and the rest was recorded nearby.
