Lily Allen Claims She's 'Trying To Manifest' A New Album In 2025

It’s been a few years between drinks for Lily Allen, but 2025 might be when we see her long-awaited return, with the English musician reportedly “trying to manifest” a new album this year.

Allen made her comments on the latest episode of the Miss Me? podcast that she co-hosts with Miquita Oliver. During her discussion, she outlined what the new year has in store for her, including a starring role in an upcoming production of Hedda Gabler.

“Firstly, I’m going to go and get my head straight for a bit,” Allen explained “I’m doing a little bit of work on myself in this beginning period of the year, 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?

“It’s not real, I’m just trying to manifest it now,” she continued, before later adding, “Listen, I’ve got this. We’re bringing Lily Allen back in 2025.”

Currently, it’s nearing seven years since Allen released her last album, 2018’s No Shame. Arriving four years on from her previous album, Sheezus, the record was her least-successful record from a commercial point of view, though still peaked at #8 in both Australia and the UK.

Since the release of No Shame, Allen has also largely been absent from touring, having last performed in 2019, with only five performances taking place following her Australian tour earlier that same year.

In July of 2024, Allen revealed she had launched an OnlyFans account in which she exclusively sold feet pictures. “I have a lady who comes and does my nails, and they informed me that I have five stars on WikiFeet, which is quite rare,” she explained on her podcast at the time. “But yes, my feet are rated quite highly on the internet.”

In October, Allen followed up by noting that in the three months since its launch, the income stream from OnlyFans outweighs what she makes from Spotify streams monthly.

Allen made the claim while responding to a social media user who attempted to shame the musician by stating “imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this.”

“Imagine being [an] artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet,” she added. “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
