Under My Skin

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."

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.
