Musically, “Hello Kitty” is a technopop song, featuring a dubstep-influenced drop. The song was influenced by her obsession with all things related to the Japanese brand Hello Kitty, also having sexual content.
The music video for “Hello Kitty” was filmed in Tokyo, Japan and premiered on Lavigne’s official website on April 21st 2014. It was removed from her YouTube channel,amid criticism that it was culturally insensitive and lacked energy.

Lyrics for Avril Lavigne – Hello Kitty
Minna saikō, arigatō, ka-ka-ka-kawaii
Ka-ka-ka-kawaii[Verse 1]
Mom’s not home tonight
So we can roll around have a pillow fight
Like a major rager, OMFG (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Let’s all slumber party
Like a fat kid on a pack of Smarties
Someone chuck a cupcake at me
It’s time for spin the bottle
Not gonna talk about it tomorrow
Keep it just between you and me
Let’s play truth or dare now
We can roll around in our underwear how
Every silly kitty should be[Pre-Chorus]
Come Come
Kitty Kitty
You’re so pretty pretty
Don’t go Kitty Kitty
Stay with me
Come Come
Kitty Kitty
You’re so silly silly
Don’t go Kitty Kitty
Play with me[Chorus]
Ka-ka-ka-kawaii
Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty, you’re so pretty
Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty, you’re so silly[Verse 2]
Wake up got a secret
Pinky swear that you’re gonna keep it
I’ve got something you need to see
Let’s be friends forever
I wanna do everything with you together
Come and play with Kitty and me[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Minna saikou, arigato, ka-ka-ka-ka-kawaii
