When Avril Lavigne and Mod Sun met each other, neither was necessarily looking for love.
“I was like, ‘I need a break from men,'” she quipped toPeoplein 2022.
“I got together with [Mod Sun] to write a song.

I was like, ‘Should you be doing this?’
It was fun and exciting, and I decided, ‘F*** it.
Life’s short.’

I’m a Libra.
I love love.”
“Avril Lavigne has one of my favorite voices in music,” Mod Sun said toET Canada.

This song holds a lot more weight than meets the eye."
“All of a sudden she comes through and I understood the song better after she sang it.
I understood why this is a great song.

Sometimes as an artist you don’t really know,” he said.
I was like, ‘Who did you write this with and who produced it?'"
As Lavigne shared, things really clicked into place for the three of them immediately.

“They all really understood me as an artist,” she said.
“'[It was] magic, pure magic,” Mod Sun said to Metro in 2021.
And in a 2022 chat with People, Lavigne recalled how effortless it all felt from the start.

“It was like I had known him forever,” she shared.
“As time went on, things kept getting better, and it felt incredibly natural.”
… you’re able to feel that there’s nothing there and [this was] like magic.

It’s really magic with this one," he gushed to the outlet.
What the f*** is happening?!'"
It appears the song the pair sang together ended up being a mirror for their budding romance.

Over the course of their relationship, Mod Sun made several long posts confessing his blissed-out feelings for Lavigne.
You are my calm in the chaos + my shelter from the storm.
You are elegance + rock n roll wrapped up in one body.

Happy birthday my little icon."
“It was the most perfect, romantic proposal I could ever ask for,” Lavigne toldPeople.
And it has Mod + Avril on the inside," Lavigne shared with People.

In addition to picking out the perfect ring, Mod Sun went all out for the actual proposal.
“We had a violin player, champagne and roses.
Together forever til our days are done.”
Apparently, for Mod Sun, the risk was worth it.
In February 2021,TMZreported he got “Avril” tattooed to his neck.
The track is featured on his 2023 release, “God Save the Teen.”
But as he has said, the song illustrates his connection with Lavigne at the time.
“I’ve found that person.”
A few days later, however, Mod Sun alluded to the split onInstagram.
