Friday Flash(back) - Lily Allen - West End Girl

The Friday Flash(back) is back for 2026. Welcome to the new year, kicking off with West End Girl, the fifth studio album by English singer-songwriter Lily Allen. 

The album was released back in October last year.

The album marks her first project in seven years and her first album following her departure from Parlophone.

West End Girl was primarily recorded in Los Angeles over ten days in December 2024, with additional production taking place in February 2025. 

The album was mainly written by Allen, who also co-produced the project alongside Seb Chew, Kito & Blue May.

Lyrically, West End Girl reflects on the undoing of Allen's marriage to actor David Harbour, how she processed his alleged acts of infidelity, and her emotional response.

Upon its release, West End Girl received acclaim from music critics, many of whom described it as lyrically honest and praised its narrative. 

It was named as one of the best albums of 2025 by several publications and was nominated for British Album of the Year at the Brit Awards. Commercially, the album peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart, where it was certified Silver for moving 60,000 units, and reached the top ten in Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. 

The album's lead single, Madeline, reached the top twenty on the UK Singles Chart, while the album track Pussy Palace peaked at number eight, becoming Allen's first top ten in the UK since 2014.

To promote the album, Allen is set to embark on a concert tour, Lily Allen Performs West End Girl, which will commence in March 2026.

Lily also scored tow entries in this year's Hottest 100 after many years absent from the countdown. For my Top 200 songs of the year, Lily also featured twice.

If you are keen to discover the comeback of Lily Allen, you can stream the entire record below. Described by some as the divorce record of all time.

Very excited for the remainder of the first season of the Friday Flash(back). See you next Friday!
