In July 2006, Lavigne married her boyfriend of two years, Deryck Whibley. The marriage lasted a little over three years, and in October 2009, Lavigne filed for divorce. Whibley and Lavigne continued to work together after the divorce, with Whibley producing on her upcoming fourth album, as well as Lavigne’s single, “Alice”, written for Tim Burton’s film Alice in Wonderland.
The album’s and lead single’s release dates have been pushed back several times. The album was originally scheduled for release on 17 November 2009. Later, in January 2010, Lavigne stated that the album cover had been photographed and the first single would be released in April, followed by the album in June. In May, Lavigne admitted that she considered the album too serious and “mellow” and would return to the studio to balance the album out. “With an album, I don’t want to rush it out. I have a very serious record, so I think I need to put a couple upbeat, fun songs on it.”
In January, while simultaneously writing and recording for her new album, Lavigne was working with Disney on Alice in Wonderland-themed clothing designs, inspired by Tim Burton’s feature film, Alice in Wonderland. She asked the executives if she could write a song for the film. The result was the song “Alice”, which was played over the end credits and included on the soundtrack, Almost Alice.
On 28 February, Lavigne gave a performance at the concert portion of the 2010 Winter Olympics closing ceremony, performing “My Happy Ending” and “Girlfriend”.
