Lily Allen knows her new album, West End Girl, is brutal, but she insists she meant no harm toward her estranged husband and muse, David Harbour. "It's not a cruel album," Allen, 40, told Interview magazine during a Q&A published on Tuesday, October 28. "I don't feel like I'm being mean. It was just the feelings I was processing at the time." Allen wrote and recorded West End Girl in just 10 days in December 2024, the same month that she split from Harbour, 50, after four years of marriage. "I feel very differently about the whole situation now," she reflected.
