\n\tYou oughta know what you\u2019re doing if you\u2019re going to cover a song this iconic.<\/p>\n
\n\tPop punk princess Avril Lavigne <\/a>released a cover of fellow Canadian superstar Alanis Morissette<\/a>\u2018s 1996 single \u201cIronic\u201d on Wednesday (April 15). The cover is part of the soundtrack<\/a> for the Canadian romantic comedy Mile End Kicks, releasing theatrically in Canada on Friday.<\/p>\n \n\tLavigne\u2019s cover stays true to Morissette\u2019s original version. Lavigne begins the song with the same soft vocals and acoustic guitar riff as Morissette before the track swells with an electric guitar-led band in time for the chorus. Lavigne\u2019s rendition is not the first time she\u2019s sung the song. In 2005, Morissette invited Lavigne to duet on the track<\/a> with her at Los Angeles\u2019 House of Blues.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIronic\u201d is the third single from Morissette\u2019s third studio album, Jagged Little Pill. The song is Morissette\u2019s highest-charting Hot 100 hit, having spent 32 weeks on the chart and peaking at No. 4. Released in 1995, Jagged Little Pill topped the Billboard 200 for 12 weeks and spent 127 total on the chart. The LP was the Billboard Year-End No. 1 for 1996. The album went on to be the inspiration behind a 15-time Tony-nominated Broadway musical of the same name in 2018.<\/p>\n \n\tLavigne debuted three years after Jagged Little Pill\u2018s release with her album Let Go. In the time since her debut, Lavigne has scored 20 Hot 100 hits, including her 2007 chart-topping single \u201cGirlfriend.\u201d Her latest studio album Love Sux was released in 2022 and peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200. Lavigne\u2019s \u201cIronic\u201d cover is her first release since she collaborated with Yellowcard on their single \u201cYou Broke Me Too\u201d in October 2025.<\/p>\n \n\tListen to Avril Lavigne\u2019s \u201cIronic\u201d cover below.<\/p>\n \t<\/p>\n \t<\/a><\/p>\n Get weekly rundowns straight to your inbox<\/p>\n
