Lily Allen has hinted at a new album coming by the end of 2025. This forthcoming album will be her first since ‘No Shame’, released in 2018. Fans have eagerly awaited new music, and Allen’s recent statements suggest that 2025 will be a significant year for her return to the music scene.
In a recent episode of her podcast ‘Miss Me?’, co-hosted with Miquita Oliver, the singer outlined her plans: “Firstly, I’m going to go and get my head straight for a bit… then I’m going to do some more writing, then I’m going to do my play, hopefully, maybe get an album out by the end of the year. That would be nice, wouldn’t it?”
Allen has been working on new material in Nashville, Tennessee, a city renowned for its rich musical heritage. She described the experience as “quite intimidating” and noted that “people there are really talented”. Despite this, she has been productive and has written nearly 50 songs for the upcoming album.

In addition to her musical endeavours, the ‘Smile’ singer is set to star in a new theatrical production of ‘Hedda Gabler’, scheduled to premiere in England in July 2025 at Theatre Royal Bath.
This news comes after Lily Allen and David Harbour reportedly separated after four years of marriage. The couple, who married in a Las Vegas ceremony in 2020, had been living apart for several months prior to their split. Speculation about their relationship intensified when Lily unfollowed David on Instagram and was later spotted on the exclusive dating app Raya. Reports suggest that Lily rejoined Raya to investigate suspicions of David’s infidelity, discovering an active profile believed to be his.
Allen’s last album ‘No Shame’ was written during a turbulent period in her life, including her divorce from Sam Cooper. The upcoming album is still largely under wraps, but true to her style, Allen is expected to address personal experiences and struggles. Given the reports about her recent split from David Harbour, these emotions could find their way into her lyrics.
