Lily Allen Releases ‘West End Girl,’ Alleging Open‑Relationship Rule Breach in Split With David Harbour

Released Oct. 24, the confessional album arrives after her treatment for emotional confusion.

Overview

  • The record centers on Allen’s separation from Harbour and includes lyrics that accuse him of violating agreed rules of their open marriage.
  • Songs reference a figure called “Madeline” and detail scenes of discovery, with explicit mentions reported by outlets including The Guardian.
  • Natalie Tippett, identified in press coverage as the alleged lover, said she feels frightened after hearing the track.
  • Harbour has not publicly responded to the album’s claims and was reported to be spending time with Allen’s daughters at a theme park.
  • Critics note the project was made quickly in Los Angeles over roughly 10–16 days and praise its raw, near‑real‑time quality.
