The singer, 40, calls her partner a &#8220;sex addict&#8221; who led a &#8220;double life&#8221; and &#8220;went astray&#8221; from their relationship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The references begin in the first song on the album, the title track, when Allen sings about how Harbour&#8217;s &#8220;demeanor started to change&#8221; early in their marriage. In &#8220;Sleepwalking,&#8221; she sings about how there was &#8220;no romance&#8221; since they married.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>BMG<\/p>\n<p> Lily Allen&#8217;s &#8216;West End Girl&#8217;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;&#8216;Why aren\u2019t we f&#8212;ing, baby?&#8217; Yeah, that\u2019s what you said,&#8221; the lyrics continue. &#8220;But you let me think it was me in my head, and nothing to do with them girls in your bed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In &#8220;Tennis,&#8221; Allen sings about being gaslit after seeing a text from a woman named Madeline on her partner&#8217;s phone. &#8220;Who the f&#8212; is Madeline?&#8221; she asks in the song. When she confronted him about it, he &#8220;made it all my fault.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the song titled &#8220;Madeline,&#8221; Allen claims she messaged the other woman to ask &#8220;how long has it been going on? Is it just sex or is there emotion?&#8221; She also sings about having &#8220;an arrangement&#8221; in the marriage that allowed her husband to sleep with other women, but he broke the rules they agreed upon: &#8220;Be discreet and don\u2019t be blatant. There had to be payment. It had to be with strangers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Allen&#8217;s rage comes out in &#8220;P&#8212;y Palace,&#8221; where she calls her husband a &#8220;sex addict&#8221; and tells him that she doesn&#8217;t want him in her bed. She also claims she found a shopping bag full of &#8220;sex toys, butt plugs, lube inside, hundreds of Trojans,&#8221; and wonders how she got &#8220;caught up in your double life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In &#8220;4chan Stan,&#8221; Allen claims she found a receipt for a designer purse from Bergdorf Goodman that he purchased for another woman, and wonders if that woman is &#8220;famous&#8221; because her partner won&#8217;t reveal the name.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Representatives for Harbour did not immediately respond to <em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em>&#8216;s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Allen and Harbour, 50, were married for four years, and separated in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with\u00a0our\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/ew-dispatch-newsletter-11812417\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:EW Dispatch newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The singer <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/lily-allen-west-end-girl-interview-2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:revealed in a Vogue profile on Monday;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">revealed in a <em>Vogue<\/em> profile on Monday<\/a> that her album is &#8220;inspired by what went on\u00a0in the relationship,&#8221; and that she felt &#8220;confusion, sorrow, grief, helplessness&#8221; while making it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, she also alluded that the album isn&#8217;t entirely autobiographical.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;There are things that are on the record that I experienced within my marriage,&#8221; Allen told the outlet. &#8220;But that\u2019s not to say that it\u2019s all gospel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the original article on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/lily-allen-implies-david-harbour-cheated-open-marriage-11836846\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lily Allen is implying that her ex-husband David Harbour cheated on her and violated the terms of their open marriage in many brutal songs on her new album, West End Girl.
