New song “I Hate Everybody” by Chad Tepper feat. Simple Plan comes out next week!

So.. are you ready for some new music? That’s right! It was revealed just yesterday that Chad Tepper will be releasing a new song called “I Hate Everybody” feat. Simple Plan next Friday, September 17th 2021. Judging by the single’s artwork [check it out in full in our gallery], it look like Pierre Bouvier will likely have some guest vocals on the song, but given that the whole band (Simple Plan) is credited on the featuring, it is possible that more members have been involved in the making of this song.

Who is Chad Tepper? Chad is an American YouTuber, pop punk-singer and former professional skateboarder, who is known for previously being part of Jake Paul’s entertainment collaborative called Team 10. In the past few months, Chad Tepper has been experimenting with pop punk music, releasing a number of songs on Spotify and even collaborating with some of the genre’s biggest artists – such as Bowling For Soup and Travie McCoy.

Another person that contributed on this new song is Lexnour, a Canadian music producer, who specializes in high quality trap beats. Both Lexnour and Chad Tepper have recently been seen hanging around Pierre and his family, as seen on Pierre’s and his wife Lachelle’s social media.

You can already pre-save the Spotify link as well as other links to later stream this song right here.

Below, you can have a look at a short video announcement by Chad, featuring Lexnour, announcing the release of the song next week:

Simple Plan joined TikTok: watch Seb and David’s I’m Just A Kid challenge!

After the unexpected sudden success of their first ever single ‘I’m Just A Kid’ on TikTok – thanks to the so called ‘I’m Just A Kid challenge’, which made people recreate photos from their childhood, Simple Plan decided to give this new platform a try as well. From now on, you can find Simple Plan under their official TikTok profile – @simpleplan.

And that’s not all! From their undisclosed locations in lockdown, both Sebastien and David already hopped on the trend and posted their own renditions of the ‘I’m Just A Kid challenge’ on the band’s new TikTok profile. Check them out below:

Simple Plan’s ‘I’m Just A Kid’ becomes viral in new TikTok trend

In a completely unexpected turn of events, Simple Plan’s 2002 hit single ‘I’m Just A Kid’ recently became viral after thousands of users began using the song in a new trend on the social media platform TikTok. The ‘I’m Just A Kid’ challenge on TikTok lies in recreation of one’s childhood photos in 2020 with a cut to the old photo.

Over the past couple of days – because of this new TikTok trend, Simple Plan’s song has been used on over 680 000 times for more and more recreations of people’s past, as most are stuck in self isolation with nothing on their hands. Overall, the I’m Just A Kid challenge itself has been viewed over 43 million times. According to Sebastien, because of the popularity of ‘I’m Just A Kid’ on TikTok, the song has now also become trending on Spotify.

Simple Plan themselves were very pleasantly surprised with the sudden viral use of their first ever single and shared a few of their favorite TikTok creations on their Instagram [see them here]. Check out what SP had to say about this unexpected viral fame:

“In the midst of all the chaos, craziness and bad news of the last weeks, watching this happen and catch fire has been truly magical for us. It’s definitely a little ironic to go viral in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, but we are so grateful for every family, sibling, kid, parent, couple and animal-owner who’s taking part in the #imjustakidchallenge on @TikTok and sharing these amazing videos.

It’s pretty incredible to watch a song we wrote almost 20 years ago bring people together and make them smile. Thank you for sharing these memories and if you haven’t made one yet, what are you waiting for? We can’t wait to see yours!”

Apart from the tens of thousands of TikTok users, this trend has also become popular amongst many prominent internet stars – including David Dobrik, James Charles or the Dolan twins. But the video that the Simple Plan fans will most likely appreciate the most was done by one of Simple Plan’s best friends, Patrick Langlois (their former photographer, merch guy and webmaster). Patrick decided to hop on this trend just a few days ago – recreating his old picture with Chuck – even in self-isolation. Check it out:
