"The woman of the moment, Lily Allen, has sent the internet into meltdown after revealing her new album West End Girl will be released on USB sticks shaped like butt plugs. Yes, really. The singer unveiled the eyebrow-raising limited edition merch on Tuesday (December 3), with her official store now taking pre-orders for the X-rated-looking gadgets, which are priced at £24.99."
"The devices come preloaded with the album - but Lily insists they're strictly for storing songs, not... anything else. We can't stress that enough. A disclaimer on the site stresses the limited-edition items are "novelty USB devices intended for data storage only." Her army of fans were quick to point out the not-so-subtle link to her track Pussy Palace, which includes the eyebrow-lifting line: "Duane Reade bag with the handles tied / Sex toys, butt plugs, lube inside.""
"West End Girl has been called a revenge album, but Lily Allen says she doesn't see it that way. "That's what's fun about this record; it's viscerally like going through the motions," she told Interview Magazine. "At the time, I was really trying to process things, and that's great in terms of the album, but I don't feel confused or angry now." She also told Interview Magazine that "some of (the album) is based on truth and some of it is fantasy.""
Lily Allen is releasing West End Girl on limited-edition USB sticks shaped like butt plugs, priced at £24.99. The devices come preloaded with the album and are sold as novelty data-storage items with a site disclaimer specifying data use only. Fans linked the merch to the song Pussy Palace, which references sex toys and is widely believed to target her ex-husband David Harbour. Allen moved her two daughters to New York after meeting Harbour in 2019, married in 2020, and separated in late 2024. She reportedly wrote the album in ten days after the breakup and said parts of it mix truth and fantasy.
