Plot twist! Simple Plan fans won’t be getting just a new single this Friday, February 18th, but they will be getting a whole new music video too!
That’s right! Simple Plan just confirmed in their latest Instagram post that the music video that they filmed earlier this month with Deryck Whibley for ‘Ruin My Life’, will actually be coming out on the day of the release of the single on all music platforms!
Plus, they also gave us the first look at the video through some cool photos from the set of the video – even one featuring Deryck. Check them out in the gallery.
Simple Plan are just a gift that keeps on giving! After first announcing the date of release of their new single (February 18th), then revealing the song title “Ruin My Life” and the stellar featuring – Deryck Whibley from Sum 41, the band just released the first little sneak peek of this new track!
Make sure to watch Pierre’s new video on Instagram to the end to catch a glimpse of the new song. Thoughts?
The videoshoot for Simple Plan’s upcoming single ‘Ruin My Life’ sort of slipped under the radar while the band was still teasing what their new surprise project would be. That is until Jeff recently posted a photo of himself in front of a red brick wall saying “Hurry up and wait on the set of our new video”.
The very same red brick wall that is featured on this brand new image that People magazine posted today (thanks SPB), taken by photographer Anna Lee in Los Angeles on February 2nd, which is also the day of said videoshoot. On this photo, we can finally see Simple Plan together with Deryck Whibley from Sum 41, who was only recently officially announced as the featured artist on Simple Plan’s new single.
Check out the first official band photo from the set of ‘Ruin My Life’ with Deryck Whibley in our gallery.
New music is almost here! It has just been confirmed that Simple Plan’s second single (after The Antidote) from their upcoming 6th album will be called ‘Ruin My Life’ and will be featuring none other than Deryck Whibley from the fellow Canadian band Sum 41! We’re guessing the old beef between Sum 41 and Simple Plan is over now, eh? :)
The new single will be released on February 18th on all streaming platforms – you can already pre-save the song here on your favorite platform and be notified once the song is up.
Check out the interesting artwork for “Ruin My Life”, which features a bird on fire:
How excited are you about this song and the special featuring?
Our favorite song-writing duo, Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau got together via Instagram live chat on Thursday, where they not only answered a bunch of fans’ questions but also spilled some amazing beans while doing so.
The main information we got from the livechat was that there is a brand new Simple Plan song coming out next month – in February. According to Pierre, “it’s a special one”.
“We’re gonna put out some new music soon. It’s coming soon. For real.. […] One way we’re adaption to this and also to the new reality on the music world and how things are going is that we’re releasing music in a different way. It’s gonna be more like song by song, maybe a little bit […] than we’ve done in the past. But I think that’s kind of cool. We’re just trying to make this work. Cause we’re not able to go out there and tour and do interviews as much and do everything. We’re trying to find new ways for people to pay attention to the songs and the album, so we’re experimenting with different ways of doing that. But the next step is a new song and that’s coming next month.”

The boys also mentioned that the new album will definitely be released on vinyl and the band is also currently looking at some other vinyl related things – according to Chuck, there should be some sort of vinyl coming up related to the 20th anniversary of Simple Plan’s first album ‘No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls’, which is coming up in March.
Check out a clip of Chuck and Pierre discussing the new song and the vinyls in the livestream below:
Chuck also revealed in the chat that the band has also already shot their album cover photoshoot and just finalized the final look of the album cover in the past few days (again by Simple Plan’s head graphic designer – Fred Jerome). The album cover concept was once again put together by Chuck and the photos were taken by their favorite band photographer Chapman Baehler (who also did the photoshoots for Still Not Getting Any or Taking One For The Team).
Another thing discussed was the upcoming Canadian tour with The Offspring, which a lot of fans have been asking about, due to all the covid restrictions that are currently being put in place in the country. It is currentl unclear whether the tour will be able to be held in a couple weeks, but the band is still looking at their options and will be publishing an update either this week or early next week.
And finally, during the livechat, Pierre also surprised Chuck by telling everyone him and his family are actually currently recovering from COVID-19. All of them are doing well. You can listen to him talking about it here:
