Avril Lavigne looks stunning on the cover of Bello magazine‘s October 2013 issue.

Here is what the 29-year-old singer had to share with the mag:

On working with husband Chad Kroeger on her new album: “It was so much fun. I wanted to go to work everyday. I couldn’t wait to get out of bed and go to the studio and see him.”

On her work ethic: “I like to be busy. Everything that I do outside of music is tied into my music. So it’s all about good management and multitasking and keeping everything together. Making it all go hand in hand. When it comes to designing and making fragrances, I tie it all in with my current album. The colors, the theme, and the vibe.”

On her fifth album being self-titled: “I didn’t know what to call it. I really couldn’t find a title to sum it up. Along with the fact that the album cover is a headshot, it’s very strong. And I didn’t visually see a title on that, or a word that could really go with it for a title. At the end of the day, I didn’t want to give it a title. I’m just really excited for my fans to hear it. I think they’ll be surprised.”
