More details on Avril Lavigne and Billy Idol’s 77
77 is the second single from Billy Idol’s ninth studio album, Dream Into It. The song was released on April 22, 2025, featuring popular Canadian singer Avril Lavigne. It was written by Billy Idol, Steve Stevens, Nick Long, and Tommy English, who also produced the single.
The song's lyrics talk about the struggles of exclusion and the pressure to fit into society. The first verse and prechorus encapsulate this.
First verse:
“Goin' out after midnight/ Two vampires on the street/People stare when we walk by, 'Cause they're scared of you and me.”
The prechorus reads:
“I'm not the same as them, I never was, Never gonna let us into their club/ Know you gotta give it back as good as you got/ 'Cause this is our time, and this is our shot.”
The chorus and post-chorus of 77 express a struggle against conformity and authority.
Chorus:
“She said she don't wanna run anymore/ I don't care about goin' to Heaven/ She said, 'Do it like we did it before'/ Fight back like '77.”
Post chorus:
“Hey, hey, hey-ayy/ Fight back like 77/ Hey, hеy, hey-ayy/ Fight back like '77.”
Immediately after releasing 77, Avril Lavigne and Billy Idol performed it at the April 28, 2025, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
