Avril Lavigne has opened up on her upcoming collaboration with Marilyn Manson.

The Canadian star has recorded the track 'Bad Girl' for her upcoming new album, which is expected to be released later this year.

Speaking to MTV, Lavigne revealed that the shock-rocker came over to her house in the early hours of the morning to record the track. She said:

"It was last minute. I was sitting there at the board thinking Manson would be perfect on this track, so I texted him, and he's like, 'I'll come over and I'll hear it'. So he came at 4 o'clock in the morning...Yes, it was one of those nights."

Lavigne's new album should also feature lead single 'Here's To Never Growing Up', which was unveiled to the public earlier this year.
