The singer-songwriter released her fifth studio record digitally last October, marking the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s ‘No Shame’. It peaked at Number Two in the UK, and has been nominated for Album Of The Year at the BRITs 2026.
Now, fans can buy ‘West End Girl’ in multiple physical formats. These include CD, cream and black polka dot vinyl, blue and white polka dot vinyl, clear vinyl, and standard black vinyl.
The vinyl and CD versions come with additional original paintings by Spanish artist Nieves González, who designed the album cover artwork.
‘West End Girl’ is available on the previously announced, butt plug-shared USB drive, too. The NSFW, limited-edition product is described as a “novelty” item that is “intended for data storage only”.

Since its release, ‘West End Girl’ has surpassed 275million online streams worldwide. The LP has also earned Allen her highest charting track in over 10 years, with ‘Pussy Palace’ reaching Number Eight in the UK.
As well as being in the running for Album Of The Year at next month’s BRITs, the singer has been nominated for the Artist Of The Year and Pop Act awards.
The huge success of ‘West End Girl’ led to Allen announcing a UK and Ireland arena tour for this summer, where she’ll play the record in full. These dates mark the biggest headline trek of her career, and will follow a run of smaller live gigs in March. Find any remaining tickets here.
Earlier this week, Allen was confirmed as the final headliner for Boardmasters 2026. The pop star will also be topping the bill at London’s Mighty Hoopla, with over 35,000 tickets being sold for the event in just 30 minutes.
‘West End Girl’ landed at Number 13 on NME‘s 50 best albums of 2025 list, while the track ‘Pussy Palace’ bagged the Number 21 spot in our 50 best songs of the year feature.
The LP was written and recorded in a short period following the breakdown of Allen’s marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour, after he allegedly cheated on her. In a four-star review, NME described the project as a “vicious, vulnerable and victorious comeback”.
“By the end of ‘West End Girl’, it’s clear the relationship in this tale might be over, but Lily Allen’s comeback is just getting started,” it concluded.
Allen has insisted that ‘West End Girl’ is “not a cruel album”, saying she does not “need revenge”. She explained that making the record had been “an act of desperation”. The star had previously called the collection “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’.
Allen gave the explicit ‘Pussy Palace’ its live debut during an intimate LA performance earlier this month, along with some other cuts from the album. Elsewhere, she revealed that she had recently been “run off the road” by an HGV while driving her new Porsche.
