Lily Allen Says ‘West End Girl’ Draws on Marriage Split, With Lyrics Pointing to Alleged Cheating

The singer presents a fast-written album as her account of a collapsed marriage.

Overview

  • The album, reportedly titled West End Girl and due Friday, would be her first release in seven years.
  • Advance lyrics from Sleepwalking and Dallas Major allude to a husband who “went astray” and “girls in your bed.”
  • Allen tells British Vogue the songs reflect her experiences but cautions they are not literal “gospel.”
  • She says she had suicidal thoughts and checked into residential treatment following the breakup.
  • New interviews reported by outlets attribute to Allen claims of a three-year affair and a Raya profile for David Harbour, which have not been independently verified.
