Journal de Montreal reveals interesting new info about Simple Plan songs

In the latest article on Simple Plan on Journal de Montreal (thanks Charbel for letting me know), the website took a little more in depth look on the history of Simple Plan and also revealed a couple information about the band that were unknown before.

For example the very first song that the guys wrote directly for Simple Plan was also the track that ended up being the first on their debut album – “I’d Do Anything”. Another info from the No Pads era revealed in the article is the fact that “I’m Just A Kid” was written before the band signed a record contract and Chuck and Pierre even recorded a demo for it, knowing that it would be an important song in their career.

Moving forwards to Get Your Heart On! era, another unknown fact is that there is a French version of the song “Jet Lag” that features the singer Coeur De Pirate (real name: Beatrice Martin), who even co-wrote the song. But in the end, the band decided to release the version with Marie-Mai for the French market.
