Lily Allen’s West End Girl is the English singer-songwriter’s fifth studio album, released on October 24, 2025, via BMG—her first LP in seven years and first since leaving Parlophone. A raw, diaristic “divorce album” (per Variety), it dissects the collapse of her second marriage to actor David Harbour, blending fact and fiction with sharp lyrics and bright pop melodies.

Co-written with musical director Blue May, the 14-track record was penned in 10 days in LA and finished in London/New York. Allen calls it a “really angry record” focused on external rage rather than self-reflection.

Tracks like the title opener, Ruminating, and Pussy Palace mix candid storytelling with pop, drum-and-bass, and electronic flourishes, earning critical acclaim and a 2026 BRIT nomination for Album of the Year.

It hit No. 2 on the UK charts, surpassed 275 million global streams, and landed at No. 13 on NME’s 2025 best-albums list, marking a triumphant return for Allen.

And now we're all here, we've moved to New York
We've found a nice little rental near a sweet little school
Now I'm looking at houses with four or five floors
And you've found us a brownstone, said, "You want it? It's yours"
So we went ahead and we bought it
Found ourselves a good mortgage
Billy Cotton got sorted
All the furniture ordered
I could never afford this
You were pushing it forward
Made me feel a bit awkward
Made me feel a bit awkward
I walk up the stoop, I put the key in the door
And then my phone started ringing so I answered the call
And they were like, "Hey, you've got a lead in a play
You've gotta be back in London for rehearsals in May"
And then later that evening, you said how was my day
I said, "I got some good news, I got the lead in a play"
That's when your demeanor started to change
You said that I'd have to audition, I said, "You're deranged"
And I thought
I thought that that was quite strange (I found that strange)
And I thought
I thought that that was quite strange (so very strange)
But I ignored it
Went ahead and I bought it
Got a flight and I boarded
I'm on my way
Now I'm in London, I'm on my own
I'm in a hotel room, I'm on my own
And now I'm in London and I'm all alone
I'm in a hotel room, I'm all on my own
Now I'm a West End Girl
Now I'm a West End Girl
Now I'm a West End Girl
A West End Girl
Hi, how are you? I miss you
Yeah
Huh?
Yeah
Right
Um
Okay
Well
I mean, it doesn't make me feel great
Well, if that's what you need to do, then
I guess
Well, how, how will it work?
Well, right
I mean it makes me really sad but
Mhm-mhm
Mhm-mhm
No, I'm, I'm fine, I'm fine, I just, I want, I want you to be happy
Okay
Okay, I'll speak to you later
I love you
Bye
