“Pussy Palace” by Lily Allen

"Pussy Palace" landed in October 2025 on West End Girl, the fifth Lily Allen record and her first since 2018, which she wrote and recorded in Los Angeles over 10 days in December 2024, right after her split from the actor David Harbour. The album mixes fiction with confession and never names him, but this track holds its most jaw-dropping scene: Allen discovering sex toys, lube and hundreds of Trojan condoms in a West Village apartment.

She wrote it with Leroy Clampitt, Blue May and Chloe Angelides. The instrumental came together on a 1974 Minimoog in 20 minutes; the lyric, which started from the image of that apartment, took 90. Critics took to it, and it reached number eight on the UK singles chart, her first top-ten hit there since 2014.
