Lily Allen releases ‘West End Girl’ on physical formats
Lily Allen has announced that physical copies of her latest album, West End Girl, are now available for purchase.
The record, which charts the breakdown in her relationship with Stranger Things actor David Harbour, has so far only been available to stream online. However, it will be available in a variety of physical formats, which can be ordered from today.
Fans will have the option to choose from cream and black polka dot vinyl, blue and white polka dot vinyl, clear vinyl, black vinyl, CD, and a limited edition USB.
The vinyl and CD editions feature additional original paintings by Nieves González, who designed the iconic album cover, which sees Allen wear a large, polka-dot puffer.
Allen formerly deemed the album, which was made in ten short days, “an act of desperation”, though she insisted that it wasn’t an act of “revenge”.
In December 2025, Allen announced that she was selling a limited quantity of USB drives containing a copy of West End Girl. This was an iconic reference to one of the lines in the song, ‘Pussy Palace’, which recounted, “Duane Reade bag with the handles tied / sex toys, butt plugs, lube inside.”
If the news of the physical release wasn’t enough, recently the singer-songwriter revealed that West End Girl could become a West End play, telling Jimmy Fallon on his late-night show that she has “definitely been having some conversations with people about it.”
Allen will be touring her new album throughout 2026. She will begin with a theatrical run in March, where she will play the entire project in full across theatres in the UK. Following this, she will also round out her time on the road with plenty of arena dates.
The ‘Ruminanting’ singer has also been confirmed as one of the headliners for the Mighty Hoopla festival next year, alongside Scissor Sisters, Jessie J, and Liberty.
