Lead
"It was written by Lavigne, Chad Kroeger, David Hodges and Martin Johnson, while the song was produced by Kroeger and Hodges, with additional production by Brandon Paddock and Kyle Moorman." - Try to reword this sentence. It is very lengthy.
Link music video, Billboard, Japanese culture, racist.
Background and composition
Try to reword the sentence from the lead which is repeated here.
Use "" instead of '' in the sentence 'Kawai' is Japanese for 'cute'.
Link Japanese, Manga, Japanese video games, sexual euphemisms.
Critical reception
Change Allmusic and MusicOMH to AllMusic and musicOMH.
Mention the writer of The Michigan Daily.
The last sentence in this section is unsourced. If you can't find a reliable source remove it.
Commercial performance
"The song also surges to 5,000" - surged
Music video
Instead of mentioning the day ("that Wednesday") use the date.
Slant Magazine is not italicized.
There is no source for The Independent review.
The last paragraph of the Reception section has problems with close paraphrasing. Please try to reword it. I Am... ***D.D. 14:48, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
Live performances
Try to expand this section with reviews, descriptions of the performances (if there are any reliable sources mentioning that).
All  Done except the live performances request, which I did not find reliable links for inclusion. Thank you for the review. Alex talk page! 10:41, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

I've taken out some content that made mentioned to some of the apparent reception in Western countries to the Japanese style/content of this song. There was one article on Billboard that made reference to that some Twitter users had labled the song racist or having cultural appropriation etc. I don't see how some anonymous Twitter users should be used a reliable sources in a Wikipedia article. That's no different from asking a couple of people walking down one street in one city about what they think about the song. What does seem relevant and a good source is Avril Levigne's own response to the apprarent critism. We know what she said, because she said it. Her response in itself illuminates the context, but more importantly for Wikipedia is verifiable and notable (because she said it about her own song). Her comments are towards the end of the page.
It's interesting that as of today (25 June 2020), this song has 180 million views on YouTube (released on 24 April 2014) with 1.8 million likes, 0.4 million dislikes and 261,270 comments. That's a lot of comments. For me, those comments are no/less important that what people might said on Twitter.
As a side issue, I wish we could include some reviews from Japanese music review sites. It does seem weird that a song that was released as a single in Japan only gets Western reviews in this article. The song was on her album which was released worldwide, but the single/video was for the Japanese marker. Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese, so I don't know how to find those reviews.Seaweed (talk) 10:00, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
