<\/div>\nThe song \u2018Madeline\u2019 follows Allen interrogating a woman named Madeline, after seeing a text message from her appear on a partner\u2019s phone (https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@lilyallen)<\/span><\/div>\n\u201cI know none of this is your fault, messaging you feels kind of assaultive \/ Saw your text, that\u2019s how I found out, tell me the truth and his motives,\u201d the track\u2019s lyrics read. \u201cI can\u2019t trust anything that comes out of his mouth \/ No, I can\u2019t trust anything that comes out of his mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continues, \u201cWe had an arrangement \/ Be discreet and don\u2019t be blatant \/ There had to be payment \/ It had to be with strangers \/ But you\u2019re not a stranger, Madeline.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, speaking to The Times last week, the singer admitted Madeline was \u201ca fictional character.\u201d When asked if she was a \u201cconstruct of others,\u201d Allen said: \u201cYes.\u201dIn the same interview, Allen said that she wrote the album in just 10 days, last December, when she was \u201creally depressed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I didn\u2019t have any good songs left,\u201d she explains. \u201cMy writing had been really bad and it took something to happen in my life, for everything to be blown up, for me to be able to go, \u2018Oh, here she is.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cTraditionally in my life, when traumatic things happened, I\u2019ve taken time to step away. I certainly don\u2019t think I could have got up on stage days after losing a child [Allen suffered a stillbirth in 2010]. But that is probably more of an anatomical thing. And there are levels to the humiliation \u2013 right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Allen married Harbour in 2019<\/a> after meeting him on Raya, an exclusive dating app popular among celebrities and other high-profile figures. In December 2024, the singer began recording podcast episodes without wearing her wedding ring and was reportedly found on the Raya app<\/a> again. She filed for divorce last month. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
