B-Sides, also known as Let Go: B-Sides, is a promotional album by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne. It was published before her debut studio album Let Go by Arista Records in 2002. The compilation contains demo and original tracks not included on the final Let Go release. The songs were written and produced in 2001 under the management of Nettwerk in Los Angeles by Lavigne, her post manager Clifford Fabri, the production team the Matrix, and songwriter Cliff Magness[4] after Arista sent her to Terry McBride, CEO of Nettwerk, in an attempt to fit her image and attitude with her voice.[5]: 165  Though Lavigne would release Let Go through Arista, she continued with Nettwerk for her management.[6]
