In January , the lawsuit was settled and Gangwer and Dunbar released a statement saying that the similarities between the songs were based on "certain common and widely used lyrics" and that they "completely exonerate Avril and Luke from any wrongdoing of any kind in connection with the claims made by us in our lawsuit.

The other parts of the song are in English. According to Lavigne's label, a Hindi version was attempted but Lavigne found it too difficult to record because the correctly pronounced lyrics did not best match the meter of the song. There is also an edited version for radio, because of explicit lyrics. There are two official censored versions: one blanking the word "motherfucking" in the line "I'm the motherfucking princess" and the other replacing it with "I'm the one and only princess".

However, on other radio stations the entire word is cut out or just the word "mother", as in the version on the clean edition of the album, is said.

But instead of saying girlfriend, they use " anoko, " which is "that girl. And then "You need another girl" basically is "I could be your girlfriend. The word that she uses for "iffy" is " imaichi, " and that's a weird word to say, to fit in a song. Yang : In the Mandarin version, when she says, "I want to be your girlfriend," it's very obviously cut-up. She sounds like a robot. Kroft : I would think for Asian fans it's a pretty big deal that she tried to learn those languages, so you're going to give her a pat on the back and say, "Good for you.

It more goes with her image that she's bratty and obnoxious and wouldn't put that effort in. A label person said that she would sing in seven languages, and so she showed up and did it.

That's my assessment of it. Norris : But her persona is also that she doesn't do things she doesn't want to do. It does give me an appreciation for Celine or Shakira, who do end up having careers in a language other than what they grew up with, so props to her for trying. Kroft : I have a theory: I think the redhead [in the "Girlfriend" video] is really good at languages. But the brunette can't sing in them. Norris : There you go.
