Avril - Hello Kitty (Wistia)

"Hello Kitty" is a song by French-Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, taken from her self-titled fifth studio album, Avril Lavigne (2013). It was written by Lavigne, Chad Kroeger, David Hodges and Martin Johnson. Production was handled by Kroeger and Hodges, with additional production by Brandon Paddock and Kyle Moorman. Musically, "Hello Kitty" is a technopop song, featuring an electro-influenced drop. The song was influenced by her obsession with all things related to the Japanese brand Hello Kitty, and has slight sexual content.

The song received negative reviews from music critics, who criticized its sound and called it immature, while a few named it unique and playful. Lavigne shot a music video for the track in Japan and was released on 21 April 2014. It was met with negative reviews by critics, with Billboard labeling it "abhorrent" and "lazy". The video's depiction of Japanese culture was accused of being racist and offensive by some. Due to the video's popularity, the song charted at number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the second highest charting non-single song from the album.
