Lily Allen<\/strong><\/a> sings about a woman named Madeline on her new album, West End Girl <\/i>\u2014 and she has plenty to say about her lyrical inspiration.<\/p>\n \u201cIntimacy is inherently messy. There are usually agreed-upon boundaries in relationships, but whether those boundaries are adhered to or not is becoming a grey area all of a sudden,\u201d Allen, 40, told The Times of London <\/i><\/a>in a Saturday, October 25, profile. \u201cDating apps make people disposable and that leads to the idea that if you are not happy, there\u2019s so much more to choose from right in your pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n On West End Girl, <\/i>Allen alleges that her partner \u2014 presumed to be her estranged husband, Stranger Things <\/i>star David Harbour \u2014 had been unfaithful with a woman named Madeline<\/a>. The moniker is first referenced in the song \u201cTennis.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo I read your text, and now I regret it \/ I can\u2019t get my head round how you\u2019ve been playing tennis,\u201d Allen sings in the chorus. \u201cIf it was just sex, I wouldn\u2019t be jealous \/ You won\u2019t play with me and who\u2019s Madeline?\u201d<\/p>\n Lily Allen Hints Ex David Harbour Cheated in \u2018Open\u2019 Marriage on New Album \u2018West End Girl\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n Madeline is referenced again on a track of the same name, in which Allen sings about<\/a> messaging the other woman herself.<\/p>\n \u201cI know none of this is your fault \/ Messaging you feels kind of assaultive,\u201d she sings. \u201cSaw your text, that\u2019s how I found out \/ Tell me the truth and his motives.\u201d<\/p>\n When pressed by the Times <\/i>about her musical inspiration, Allen succinctly quipped, \u201c[She\u2019s] a fictional character.\u201d The performer also shared that Madeline is actually a construct of multiple others.<\/p>\n \u201cI just feel we are living in really interesting times \u2014 in terms of how we define intimacy and monogamy, people being disposable or not,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cThe way we are being intimate with each other is changing as humans. Lots of young women are not finding the idea of marriage or even a long-term relationship that attractive any more.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cI don\u2019t know [that] it\u2019s necessarily bad. Lots of people from my parents\u2019 generation stayed together forever and were miserable. You didn\u2019t have endless choice so you may have worked at something harder. But now you don\u2019t have to.\u201d<\/p>\n Who Is Madeline? Lily Allen Hints David Harbour Allegedly Cheated With Other Woman on New Album<\/a><\/p>\n
