The singer-songwriter dropped her long-awaited fifth record in October, just four days after announcing the “vulnerable” surprise project. It follows on from her 2018 LP, ‘No Shame’.
Advertisement‘West End Girl was written and recorded following the breakdown of the artist’s marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour, after he allegedly cheated on her. In a four-star review, NME described the project as a “vicious, vulnerable and victorious comeback”.
Now, Allen has launched a NSFW edition of the album in line with its sexual themes. The “limited” blue-and-white polka dot USB drive is available now via Allen’s official webstore, priced at £24.99.
The product is seemingly a reference to the explicit ‘West End Girl’ track ‘Pussy Palace’, in which the pop artist discovers her partner’s secret bag, containing “sex toys, butt plugs, lube [and] hundreds of Trojans“.
Allen’s new USB drive includes MP3 versions of the songs from the record. According to the official listing, the “novelty” device is “intended for data storage only”. It is due to arrive on January 30 – pre-order here.

As Consequence reports, Harbour is allegedly “furious” at Allen for the album and butt plug references.
“The embarrassment is off the charts,” an insider reportedly said. “He’s furious at essentially being accused of being this skirt-chasing monster and the world’s worst husband.”
However, Allen has insisted that ‘West End Girl’ is “not a cruel album”, saying she does not “need revenge”. She recently explained that making the LP had been “an act of desperation”. The star had previously called the collection “a mixture of fact and fiction”. Allen also said ‘West End Girl’ had been inspired by the “storytelling” style of The Streets’ ‘A Grand Don’t Come For Free’.

Elsewhere, a woman who is said to have inspired her new song ‘Madeline’ has come forward following her affair with Harbour. But according to Allen, ‘Madeline’ was a fictional character who was a “construct of others”.
‘Pussy Palace’ has landed at Number 21 on NME‘s 50 best songs of 2025 list. The entry reads: “Lily Allen lays the smackdown on David Harbour, the ex-husband and Stranger Things actor widely believed to have inspired her monumental comeback album ‘West End Girl’. ‘Am I looking at a sex addict?‘ she wonders over serene synths, proving what happens when you cross a famously outspoken woman. What was he thinking?”
In a recent interview, Harbour said he “would change either everything or nothing” about his life, and reflected on the “question of regret”.
Meanwhile, the NYC townhouse owned by Allen and Harbour was listed for sale just days after the release of ‘West End Girl’.
Allen has discussed her OnlyFans foot account, too, saying “it wasn’t that fun” once she broke up with her ex-husband.
Lily Allen is set to showcase ‘West End Girl’ at a run of UK and Ireland arena shows next summer. These dates will follow a series of smaller live gigs in March. Find any remaining tickets here.
Last month, it was announced that the singer would also be headlining London’s Mighty Hoopla 2026 – a move that led to over 35,000 tickets being sold in just 30 minutes.
