In the song, Simple Plan reflect on their journey of growing up on stage — from the highs and lows of life as a rock band to the realization that they’re living the dream they’ve had since the beginning.

Beside the members of Simple Plan, the song lyrics’s credits include some other familiar names including Andrew Goldstein, Travis Clark (We The Kings) or Zakk Cervini.

The song Nothing Changes also received its own music video, released today, featuring a nostalgic look back at the band’s early days and their entire musical journey. Don’t miss it – check it out here:

While working on the documentary, the members of Simple Plan went through their old archives and uncovered five never-before-heard demo versions of songs they recorded even before their debut album. And you can now listen to them in all their raw beauty!

These songs include:

I'd Do Anything - demo version (from August 1999)
My Alien (Rocket) - demo version (from October 1999)
Summer Lies - demo version (from August 1999)
Feeling - demo version (from January 2000)
Happy Lie - demo version (from January 2000)

Simple Plan know their fans are suckers for live track, so they could not include one on their documentary’s soundtrack. The chosen song to be recorded live was the fan-favorite ‘Where I Belong’ which they originally recorded as a featuring with State Champs and We The Kings.

Avril Lavigne releases new song “Young & Dumb” feat. Simple Plan

AUTHOR: Dominika | 10. May 2025 | no comments

Ahead of their North American summer tour together On May 9th, Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan released their first ever music collaboration – a song titled ‘Young & Dumb’. Simple Plan are not only featured on the song vocally and musically, but they also contributed to the lyrics: besides Avril Lavigne, the credits of the song also include Pierre Bouvier, Chuck Comeau and John Feldman (who has previously worked with Simple Plan on many occasions).

In the song lyrics, Avril and Simple Plan reminisce of the early 2000s when both artists were just starting out and Avril took Simple Plan as her opening act on the Canadian leg of her ‘Try To Shut Me Up’ tour (2003).

The percussion-driven song hits like a wave of nostalgia and good memories of the good old times as well as being grateful of the fact that even 20 years later, they are still doing what they love.

"What makes it even more meaningful is getting to share this experience with my friends, Simple Plan. It's really a full circle moment because not only did they tour with me last year on the Greatest Hits tour but we also toured together in 2003 on my first arena tour, when I was 18 and touring my first album ‘Let Go’. We were so young, all from small towns in Canada and put our first albums out at the same time. We became friends right away.

A few months ago, I called them up and they joined me in the studio to write ‘Young & Dumb’. We wanted the song to capture the nostalgic feelings of this unique moment in our lives when we were both just starting out and chasing our dreams. We wanted our fans to know that in our hearts, we’re still the same kids we were back then and that our love for music has never changed.

This song is about our friendship and how music has kept us connected all these years. The song is about feeling nostalgic, while loving where you are right now."

“Still Not Getting Any...” is one of our favourite albums we've made and last fall it celebrated its twentieth anniversary!

We found a small, intimate venue and we’re gonna play the album in its entirety for our fans in Sydney! We’re not sure when or even if we’ll ever do this again, so you know this is gonna be a very special show. We hope to see you all at Liberty Hall on May 10th."

Simple Plan release baby merch

AUTHOR: Dominika | 6. February 2025 | no comments

Given Simple Plan’s 25 years long history, it is no surprise that their fanbase have grown up as well. From the eyeliner wearing emo kids that used to wait hours before and after every show, we tend to see more and more of a slightly different target group: millenials between the ages of 25 and 40, slowly starting their own families, some of them already raising little ones.

And Simple Plan are more than aware of that, which made them think of a genius new merch line: baby, toddler and kids merch!

"Today, we’re launching a very special merch collection for babies, toddlers and young kids over at simpleplanstore.com. We know a lot of you are starting young families and that becoming new parents is a huge responsibility. That’s why we wanted to create this merch line to help you in this new chapter of your lives and make it easier to pass on your impeccable musical taste to the next generation! We wish you the best on this exciting adventure and hope these merch items will help you get through the restless nights and challenging days ahead. Enjoy!"
