“It Was A Way For Me To Process What Was Happening”: Lily Allen On Marriage, Motherhood And Her Music Comeback

Lily Allen opens the front door of the Georgian townhouse she’s calling home for the summer with a “Hiya” and a hug and beckons me in, vape in hand. She’s wearing a well-worn grey-marl Miu Miu polo, bottle-green pleated mini, black tights and stompy platform boots, looking a little out of place, perhaps, in the cartoonishly quaint la-di-da-ness of Bath, where she’s living while she stars in Matthew Dunster’s Ibsen adaptation, Hedda, at the Theatre Royal.

And anyway, “I do the same thing wherever I am,” she says, rustling in a plastic bag for a fresh Lost Mary (triple melon). “I’m just on my laptop, doomscrolling.” And to do that, she continues through a mouthful of pistachios, that signature Allen cynicism ratcheting up a notch, “It doesn’t matter where you are!”

Lily Allen shared insight into how her forthcoming album is a reflection on the end of her marriage to David Harbour, and the emotional challenges she was facing at the time.

“I made this record in December 2024 and it was a way for me to process what was happening in my life,” she told British Vogue in an interview published Oct. 17. “There are things that are on the record that I experienced within my marriage, but that’s not to say that it’s all gospel. It is inspired by what went on in the relationship.”
