"Hello Kitty" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, taken from her self-titled fifth studio album (2013). It was written by Lavigne, Chad Kroeger, David Hodges and Max Martin. Production was handled by Kroeger and Hodges, with additional production by Brandon Paddock and Kyle Moorman. Musically, "Hello Kitty" is a J-pop, dubstep, and EDM song, featuring an electro-influenced drop. The song was influenced by Lavigne's affinity to the Japanese brand Hello Kitty, and has some sexual content. The song was released as a Japan-only fourth single. It was mostly panned by Western music critics, who criticized its sound and called it immature, although it was generally well-received in Japan. Lavigne shot a music video for the track in Japan which was released on April 21, 2012. Due to the video's popularity, the song charted at number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the second highest charting single from the album.
