Lily Allen has announced fifth studio album ‘West End Girl’, due out on 24 October 2025 via BMG.

The full-length will be the singer’s first in seven years, and feature 14 brand new tracks, written and recorded over an intense 10-day period in Los Angeles starting in Dec 2024, and later finished in London and New York.

All the songs were written by Lily Allen, mainly in collaboration with her musical director Blue May. The album’s executive producers were Lily Allen, Seb Chew, Kito and Blue May.

The contemporary popstar’s first two albums, 2006s debut ‘Alright, Still’ and follow-up 2008s ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. Her Mercury-nominated release, 2018s ‘No Shame’, and explosively candid memoir ‘My Thoughts Exactly’, cemented her reputation as one of music’s sharpest truth-tellers, before she announced she was stepping away from music.

Now with ‘West End Girl’ Lily Allen pivots the spotlight back on herself, using her move to New York as the basis for a narrative journey.

“I’m nervous”, she commented. “The record is vulnerable in a way that my music perhaps hasn’t been before – certainly not over the course of a whole album. I’ve tried to document my life in a new city and the events that led me to where I am in my life now. At the same time, I’ve used shared experiences as the basis for songs which try to delve into why we humans behave as we do, so the record is a mixture of fact and fiction which I hope serves as a reminder of how stoic yet also how frail we humans can be. In that respect I think it’s very much an album about the complexities of relationships and how we all navigate them. It’s a story…….”

The album’s official cover art and illustrations were made by renowned Spanish artist Nieves González.
