Sk8er Boi es una canción de Avril Lavigne sobre una chica que rechaza a un chico patinador en la secundaria, pensando que no es suficientemente bueno para ella, pero años después se convierte en una estrella de rock famosa, mientras ella vive una vida común, lamentando su decisión pasada. La canción refleja narrativas sociales de diferencias de clase y juicio, incorporando elementos de punk y rock adolescente de los años 2000.
