Canadian singer Avril Lavigne will release her third CD in April.



The singer revealed details of the album, entitled The Best Damn Thing, on her MySpace profile last Saturday.

Lavigne, 22, said the first single, "Girlfriend," will come out in February.

"I promise you guys will LOVE this record, it is my favorite one!!! And I can't wait!!!!!," Lavigne wrote. "It is really fast, fun, young, bratty, aggressive, confident, cocky in a playful way....all the good stuff."

Lavigne said the songs on The Best Damn Thing will make for a great live show. "That's what I had in mind while writing it!," Avril wrote online. "So because I am a touring artist and spend so much of my time playing live shows, I wanted to make sure the songs were fun. Fun for the fans and myself."

Lavigne said there are only three slow songs on the album, which she expected to finish working on this week. It is produced by Butch Walker, Rob Cavallo, Dr. Luke and her husband, Canadian rocker Deryck Whibley.
