]]>Directed by Dana Trippe, the video for this pop-punk anthem shows the two artists towering over a makeshift city, and trying to kill their ego by tearing down posters and magazines with their faces on the cover. Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker has also been credited as their collaborator on this song, but he doesn’t make an appearance in the video.
“Grow” was featured on Smith’s latest album Lately I Feel Everything, and she felt it wasn’t working on its own when she first wrote it. That’s why she decided to reach out to Lavigne, who was right in her element from the very first moment she decided to hop on this song.
“I wanted the song to be a testament to accepting your growth and evolution, the ups and downs and the hills and valleys all equally… I feel like Avril just made that song 15 million times better, and I’m so grateful that she wanted to get on it,” Smith told Vogue.

Smith previously shared some details about the release, saying that she started working on the record midway through 2020 by making several demos. According to her, the project will see her “channel rock, pop-punk and emo heroes she adored as a teenager,” including the likes of Avril Lavigne, My Chemical Romance, and Paramore.
The album’s first single, “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l,” on which she teamed up with Blink 182’s drummer Travis Baker, came out back in April.
Willow Smith had a busy 2020, releasing the collaborative album The Anxiety with her boyfriend and fellow musician Tyler Cole. She also presented the album R I S E, which saw her working with British kirtan musician Jahnavi Harrison.
On top of her music projects, Smith also co-hosts the talk show Red Table Talk alongside her mother and grandmother.

As the episode was coming to an end, Willow took her mother out to the backyard, where a stage has been set up. On the stage were Wicked Wisdom’s guitarist Pocket Honore and keyboardist Cameroon Graves alongside several backing musicians.
After giving Pinkett Smith several moments to greet her former bandmates, Willow strapped on a guitar, took her place in front of the mic, and dived into an impressive rendition of “Bleed All Over Me.”
Jada Pinkett Smith formed Wicked Wisdom back in 2002. The band released two albums, 2004’s My Story and 2006’s self-titled sophomore record while doing several tours as an opening act for Britney Spears and Sevendust.
The group went on indefinite hiatus in 2006 and hasn’t performed since.
