Lyrics: Chill out, what you yelling for Lay back, it's all been done before And if you could only let it be, you will see I like you the way you are When we're driving in your car And you're talking to me one on one but you've become Somebody else round everyone else You're watching your back like you can't relax You're trying to be cool you look like a fool to me Tell me Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated Life's like this you And you fall and you crawl and you break And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty And promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it No, no, no You come over unannounced Dressed up like you're something else Where you are ain't where it's at you see You're making me Laugh out when you strike your pose Take off all your preppy clothes You know you're not fooling anyone When you've become Somebody else round everyone else You're watching your back like you can't relax You're trying to be cool you look like a fool to me Tell me Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated Life's like this you And you fall and you crawl and you break And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty And promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it No, no, no No, no, no No, no, no No, no, no Chill out, what you yelling for?

I first watched this MV in 2004, it became one of my instant favourites. 20 years later, I'm 29 now, and in retrospect, a lot of the concepts in the music video are kinda of cringey now ("skip school", "hang out with the bois", etc)... but in a sorta GOOD way, you know? They remind me of more innocent years, when we were young and impressionable toward the more optimistic and fun side of life. Things are tough now, they're not so simple anymore, and I'm extremely difficult to influence and have grown skeptical when things seem too good to be true, but sometimes I go back to these classic songs, like a time machine to when I often think "Everything will be alright."

The reason why every 00's teen boys had a crush on emo/punk/sk8er girls

Friend: "What's your favorite song?" Me: "It's complicated."

She was the prettiest she will ever be in this video. Love Avril!

無邪気な笑顔のアヴリルが可愛い過ぎる❤❤❤❤

I’m so proud I grew up listening to this kind of music.

Who's listening in 2024?

My teenage memories almost here

She was so cool and influential was a 13 years old when this came out.. black kid from Soweto, South Africa i started skating, dressing all different stuff lol.. I love her

people forgot the Avril Lavigne crashing the mall! This was done wayyyy before Maroon5 crashing weddings or Katy Perry crashing birthday parties XP

Amazing that one song can bring so many memories! Both good and bad, both making you who you are today

Anyone in 2024?

She's 32 now....we've grown old but from time to time it's fun to take a trip down memory lane and remember the good ol' times when life was less..complicated :)

this song just hits differently

I miss these days

How did i grow this much, last time i was listening to this i was in high-school 😢

*2002 me : life is not that complicated dear* *2019 me : yes, life is so complicated*

"what song are you listening to?" "it's... complicated."

22 YEARS AGO, THE WORLD BECOME BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN

Theres only a handful of songs that stick in my soul , This is one of them !!!!

15 years passed so quickly... listening to it again in September 4 2018.

If you're still watching this .. means you're a legend , and i love you

やっぱ最高やな。

I love Avril's songs since I was a teenager ❤

She honestly seems like the coolest person in the world. I'd just like to sit and vibe with Avril one day, that would be awesome.

Still Amazing Avril

Who listening in april 2024?

アヴリル最高やぞ♡♡♡♡

I’m enjoying the fact there are a ton of recent comments

I USED TO LISTEN THIS WHEN I WAS KID 😭😭

Psalms 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

In my opinion, this is her best song.

I always loved her Tomboy and music style. I really miss those years

Suddenly this song came into my mind and ❤❤❤ i am listening it after 11 years

Brings back middle school memories still fire 🔥

“dUDe u wAnNa cRash tHe maLl” Iconic.

My teenage life is blessed to have Avril as my favorite female singer.

可愛くてやばい🎸⚡︎

So many memories... so many promises of eternal love; so many friends with whom you were supposed to hang out forever; so many plans that seemed completely immutable, now completely different with this new perspective where you look behind from; how life changes... all evoked by a single, simple, song

This song is my time machine back to the early 2000s.

i feel SOOOO old watching this 👀 the memories

Avril got the vibe till now

聞いていてなんだか少し苦しく、切なくなるけど、この歌に出会えてよかったです。本当に時代に関係なく素敵な歌だ、ずっと聞きます🙌

2 decades now. Cheers. 🥂

Who else is having an early 2000s music marathon... The nostalgia

Queen

I'm so glad to see that people didn't forget this masterpiece🫀 Love you Avril🤍

I forgot how cute she was! In love all over again.

2003: This girl is the girl of my dreams. 2020: Still the girl of my dreams.

Avril just thank your for that ❤👊🏻

可愛すぎてしぬぅ❤

This song feels like it was made yesterday.... Im growing old :(

Love this song ❤️

love love love love this song!!!!!

This era Avril is the most beautiful thing ever.

Watching this July 2020, and things back then was not as complicated as now.

Golden memories ❤

The way she looks at the camera and says "to me" on the pre-chorus and "yeah yeah" on the refrain is so orgasmic, pretty and beautiful.

ANYONE HERE IN JULY 2019 CAUSE I AM AND IM CRYING OML THIS IS SO ICONIC

If your here in 2017 , you're taste in music is still good 🤗

Forever a masterpiece.

I have always loved this.

September 2021, I have to say : This is one of the most iconic song ever. She creates this whole new trend which is very popular at my hometown back in the days.

Is anyone listening to this song it's 2024

Maravilhosa❤

Linkin Park, Evanescence, Blur, Gorillaz, Pink, Avril Lavigne, Korn, Sum41, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Green Day, Papa Roach, Rammstein... The late 90's and early 2000's were musically the best years of my life ❤❤❤

I heard this on the radio a couple nights ago, best day in a while.

Avril Lavigne is the Best

Love this. ❤

Why we can’t have this type of music now 💔 this is childhood

friend: "so what is your favourite song?" me: "it's complicated" friend: "why?" me: "yeah it's complicated"

avril is my queen👑

so beautiful

I miss everything about early 2000's The music, the ambient, the feel, the smell, the technology, the music, it was the best combination between technology and recreation.

This is classic Avril Lavigne.

This is so good im listening to this all night definitly

Timeless

this song just screams 2000s. I fucking love it.

I have only one thing to say: her face is beautiful.

22 years later!!!! I was 17 when she released this and loved it then and still.

Lovely.

Friends: What's your favourite song Me: It's complicated

Never gets old

Amooo

Her makeup looks cool and her eyes are really really pretty❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Comparing 2017 songs to the early 2000's songs, I miss the old days

Me being a black person(male), people assume that I listen to rap music and hip-hop but I just can't help myself listening to music that is sung by female singers, 2000 pop music and 90s/80s music

This is like an IV of nostalgia straight to the heart. These were better times 😌

Nostalgic🤘🤘💓

2002:Complicated 2020: *Really complicated*
