Trivia / Lily Allen

Go To

  • Artist Disillusionment: Has made a reality tv series about her "Riches to Rags" story. She also didn't renew her recording contract, may go back to being a musician in the future, but has noted many many times how she hates the Hollywood Hype Machine and wants nothing to do with it.
  • Creator Backlash: When fans on Twitter complained that the single "Air Balloon" wasn't up to her usual standard, Lily agreed with them, and issued a Take That! against her record label for choosing Lighter and Softer Album Filler over the harder-hitting songs on Sheezus.
  • Reality Subtext: She does a lot of this including somewhat confessional songs about her relationships with her brother ("Alfie"), sister ("Back To the Start"), (presumably) mother ("Who Do You Love?") and frequently absent father ("He Wasn't There"). A lot of songs on Sheezus are about her husband; also, there's her troubled maternity, as expressed in "Take My Place" and "Holding On To Nothing".
