JADE joined Lily Allen at Mighty Hoopla to give their new ‘Beg For Me’ remix its a live debut – check out footage of the moment below.
Allen topped the bill at the London festival on Saturday night (May 30), which followed news that the announcement of her headline set had shifted 35,000 tickets in just 30 minutes.
Last night’s set saw her perform her latest album in full, storming through now-viral hits including ‘Madeline’, ‘4chan Stan’ and ‘Dallas Major’. As her set drew to a close, she surprised fans at Brockwell Park by bringing out JADE to perform their fresh spin on the ‘West End Girl’ track.
Shared on Friday (May 29), the song sees the former Little Mix member lend her vocals for a verse, with JADE firing off some cutting lines about Allen’s cheating ex: “His fragile ego ain’t worth your tears/ If we’re being honest, it’s better to find out now than to find out in a few years.”
She later nods to a popular explicit lyric from ‘West End Girl’ cut ‘Pussy Palace’ as she consoles her friend, telling Allen that “no butt plug’s gonna fill the void” for her former partner.

Allen had teased the new ‘Beg For Me’ remix on Instagram earlier this week, later announcing the track by sharing its official artwork alongside a clip of JADE talking on the phone in the intro.
The pair have previously appeared together on Allen’s Miss Me podcast with Miquita Oliver and JADE’s partner Jordan Stephens. During that episode, JADE described ‘West End Girl’ as a “brilliant album”, praising Allen’s lyrics and “risk-taking”.
“It isn’t just about the sort of pop cultural reference of it,” she said. “It is genuinely a brilliant record, and I think nobody filled your gap, actually [in music]. People tried […], but there is only one Lily Allen.”
Next month, Allen will embark on a UK and Ireland arena tour to perform ‘West End Girl’ in full, marking the biggest headline trek of her career – you can find any remaining tickets here.
The upcoming dates follow the artist’s intimate UK tour earlier this year, which included a three-night stint at the London Palladium.
Allen is also a headliner for Boardmasters 2026, and will also take to the stage at Bilbao BBK Live in Spain, too.
‘West End Girl’ landed at Number 13 on NME‘s 50 best albums of 2025 list, and went to Number Two in the UK albums chart. The track ‘Pussy Palace’ bagged the Number 21 spot in NME‘s 50 best songs of the year feature.
The record was written and recorded over a short period following the breakdown of Allen’s marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour, after he allegedly cheated on her. In a four-star review, NME described the collection as a “vicious, vulnerable and victorious comeback”.
Allen has insisted that ‘West End Girl’ is “not a cruel album”, saying she does not “need revenge” on her ex. She explained that making the LP had been “an act of desperation”, calling it “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’.
Last week, Allen won the award for Outstanding Song Collection at the Ivors 2026. She was nominated for three statues at the BRITs in February (Album Of The Year, Artist Of The Year and Pop Act), but did not win any awards on the night.
In March, Allen unveiled the original ‘West End Girl’ painting at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
NME gave Allen’s ‘West End Girl’ live show a three-star review, describing it as “a powerful, unconventional way of approaching live music – one that not only generates a better understanding of the album, but also a stronger appreciation for Allen herself”.
