Avril has made an incredible comeback in recent years, and this past weekend celebrated the 20th anniversary of her debut album Let Go.

"I will never be able to fully explain not only how much this album meant to me, but the monumental impact it has had on my life," she shared.

"It's hard to try and comprehend how, 20 years later, the songs I wrote as a 17 year old would still resonate with people today. It's pretty crazy," she thoughtfully expressed.

The pop punk star detailed the wild adventure that followed the album's debut, saying: "It put me on a path and took me places I never in my wildest dreams could have ever expected and I am thankful for it every single day."

Also a massive thank you to everyone who played a role, big or small, in helping make this record the success that it was."

The Complicated hitmaker also added two incredible throwback photos of herself around the time of the debut, seen sporting her classic baggy cargo pants and an elastic choker.
