Allen told ''[[Loveline]]'' that the audience was "brought to tears at the sight of a troubled young girl doing something good". At that point Allen said she knew that music was something she needed to do either as a lifelong vocation or to get it out of her system. She played the piano to [[Grade (music)|grade]] 5 standard and achieved grade 8 in singing. Allen also played violin, guitar and trumpet, and was a member of a chamber choir. Her first solo was "[[In the Bleak Midwinter]]".<ref name="Uncertain Smile"/> In 1998, Allen appeared in the music video to the [[Fat Les]] song "[[Vindaloo (song)|Vindaloo]]". She dropped out of school aged fifteen, not wanting to "spend a third of her life preparing to work for the next third of her life, to set herself up with a pension for the next third of her life."<ref name="observer"/>

==Music career==

===2001–2005: Career beginnings===
When her family went to [[Ibiza]] on holiday, Allen told her mother that she was staying with friends but remained in [[Sant Antoni de Portmany]] instead.

In 2005, Allen was signed to [[Regal Recordings]]; they gave her £25,000 to produce an album, though they were unable to provide much support for it due to their preoccupation with other releases such as ''[[X&Y]]'' ([[Coldplay]]) and ''[[Demon Days]]'' ([[Gorillaz]]).<ref name="pitchfork">{{cite web|last=Plagenoef|first=Scott|date=6 November 2006|title=Interviews: Lily Allen|url=https://pitchfork.com/features/interviews/6476-lily-allen/|access-date=24 July 2011|work=Pitchfork|archive-date=23 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023165259/http://pitchfork.com/features/interviews/6476-lily-allen/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Allen then created an account on Myspace and began posting demos that she recorded in November 2005.<ref name="pitchfork"/> The demos attracted thousands of listeners, and 500 limited edition [[7-inch]] vinyl singles of "[[LDN (song)|LDN]]" were rush-released, reselling for as much as £40.<ref name="observer"/><ref name="pitchfork"/> Allen also produced two mixtapes – ''My First Mixtape'' and ''My Second Mixtape'' – to promote her work. As she accumulated tens of thousands of Myspace friends, ''The Observer Music Monthly'' (OMM), a magazine published in ''[[The Observer]]'', took interest in March 2006.<ref name="observer"/> Few people outside of her label's [[A&R]] department knew who she was, so the label was slow in responding to publications wanting to report about her.<ref name="pitchfork"/> She received her first major mainstream coverage, appearing in the magazine's cover story two months later.

===2006–2008: ''Alright, Still''===
[[File:Lily Allen @ Solidays 2007.jpg|thumb|Allen in 2007]]
The success convinced her label to allow her more creative control over the album and to use some of the songs that she had written instead of working with mainstream producers. Allen decided to work with producers [[Greg Kurstin]] and [[Mark Ronson]], finishing the rest of the album in two weeks.<ref name="pitchfork"/> Allen's debut album, ''[[Alright, Still]]'', was released in July 2006. Most of the tracks had been previewed on her Myspace page, including the singles "[[Smile (Lily Allen song)|Smile]]", "[[LDN (song)|LDN]]", "Knock 'Em Out", and "Alfie". In September 2006, "Smile" was made available on the US version of [[iTunes Music Store|iTunes Store]]. By December 2006, her music video for ''Smile'' had been played on various music channels as well as the song getting a little airplay. ''Entertainment Weekly'' named ''Alright, Still'' as one of the top 10 albums of 2006 despite the fact that it had not yet been released in the US.

She did not enjoy the music she was being asked to create and believed people within the music industry were controlling her musical choices.<ref>{{cite web |archive-date=9 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180309174135/https://www.collegian.psu.edu/lifestyles/music/article_50b7fbc6-2323-5791-a814-cc6c0d191142.html |title=Lily Allen had 'identity crisis' on Sheezus |work= collegian.psu.edu |url= http://www.collegian.psu.edu/lifestyles/music/article_50b7fbc6-2323-5791-a814-cc6c0d191142.html |date= 9 March 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rVZhfhkj08 | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211030/7rVZhfhkj08| archive-date=2021-10-30|title= Lily Allen: New Album, 'No Shame' & Motherhood [FULL INTERVIEW] |last= Beats 1 on Apple Music |date=8 March 2018 |via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Allen mentioned on the podcast ''News Roast'' that she is working on a new album, which will mainly deal with herself, her relationship with her children, the breakdown of her marriage, substance abuse, etc. Allen has been working with [[Mark Ronson]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://metro.co.uk/2017/03/18/lily-allen-says-her-new-album-will-be-about-her-split-from-ex-husband-sam-cooper-6518587/ |title=Lily Allen says her new album will be about her split from ex-husband Sam Cooper |work=Metro |date=18 March 2017 |access-date=8 May 2017 |author=Deen, Sarah}}</ref> In late 2017, Allen uploaded numerous songs online in preparation for the album, including the track titled "Family Man".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/lily-allen-marriage-family-man-2054163|title=Lily Allen reported to open up about marriage breakdown in new leaked track|last=Thomas|first=Helen|work=NME|date=18 April 2017|access-date=8 May 2017}}</ref> When conceiving the album Allen wanted to work through her problems via music.

The album peaked at number eight on the [[UK Albums Chart]], it reached the top 40 on the New Zealand and Irish charts and became Allen's fourth consecutive top 10 album in Australia.

Allen's early released songs saw her singing against retro productions.<ref name=Billboard090117/> Her songs also featured other elements, such as the ska influence on second single, "LDN". She was also noted for her liberal use of crude words in her lyrics.<ref>[http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23586757-details/Never+mind+the+b****cks/article.do Never mind the b****cks] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081203115627/http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23586757-details/Never+mind+the+b****cks/article.do|date=3 December 2008}}, ''London Evening Standard'', 14 November 2008</ref> Allen has said she cringes now when listening to tracks from ''Alright, Still'', as it reminds her that she was a "sort of over-excitable teenager who desperately wanted attention" when she wrote it.<ref name="Uncertain Smile"/> Wanting to move on from the retro sound that many other artists had adapted since her debut, Allen ventured in a new direction sonically and lyrically in her second studio album, ''[[It's Not Me, It's You]]''. "[[The Fear (Lily Allen song)|The Fear]]", the first single from the album, is an electro-pop track denouncing consumerism.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a137276/listen-to-lily-allens-new-single.html|title=Listen to Lily Allen's new single|publisher=Digital Spy|date=2 December 2008|access-date=22 September 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-12274525|title=Bishop of Sheffield suggests Lily Allen song for course|publisher=[[BBC News]]|date=25 January 2011|access-date=24 July 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/lily-allen/54694|title=Lily Allen backs Bible study course featuring 'The Fear'|work=NME|date=25 January 2011|access-date=24 July 2011}}</ref> Her new musical direction and willingness to write lyrics that tackled less-common subjects were lauded by some critics.<ref name=Voice/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/jan/04/lily-allen-voice-pop?showallcomments=true#comment-51|title=In praise of...

[[Joe Strummer]], a close friend of Allen's father [[Keith Allen (actor)|Keith]], played mixtapes of [[Brazilian music]] and Jamaican [[reggae]] and ska when she was young.

===Mental health===
Allen has been outspoken regarding her [[body image]] throughout her career. In an interview&nbsp;for ''[[Lorraine (TV programme)|Lorraine]]'', an [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] [[Breakfast television|breakfast program]], Allen mentions that she "used to sleep for days so that [she] didn't eat" and that her relationship with her body was "not great" in her 20s. When asked about being influenced by the pressure of the [[music industry]] to "look a certain way in order to sell records", she replied that due to her defiant way of dealing with these unrealistic expectations, she was often criticised far more than the average [[musician]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Lily Allen Blames Feeling Like a Bad Mother on Her Rock and Roll Lifestyle|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq4crUhRt_g| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211030/Lq4crUhRt_g| archive-date=2021-10-30|date=12 July 2018|website=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> In January 2021, Allen gave an interview to discuss how she became addicted to the prescription drug [[Adderall]] in 2014 to lose weight before supporting Miley Cyrus on her [[Bangerz]] tour.<ref>{{cite news|date=2021-01-15|title=Lily Allen opens up about addiction to Adderall for weight loss|language=en-GB|publisher=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-55679233|access-date=2021-01-31}}</ref> She began a journey of recovery soon after when she was tempted to try [[heroin]].{{Cn|date=January 2025}} In February 2017, Allen said that she had been diagnosed with [[bipolar disorder]].<ref name="ptsd" /> In 2023, she was diagnosed with [[attention deficit hyperactivity disorder]] (ADHD).<ref>{{Cite news |last=Badshah |first=Nadeem |date=2023-04-01 |title=Lily Allen reveals she has been diagnosed with ADHD |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/apr/01/lily-allen-reveals-she-has-been-diagnosed-with-adhd |access-date=2023-04-02 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

Allen considers herself a [[socialist]].<ref>{{cite web|title=If you expect all pop stars to be left wing, then you're deluded|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/kate-bush-theresa-may-conservatives-lily-allen-socialism-isolated-who-cares-a7451571.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220614/https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/kate-bush-theresa-may-conservatives-lily-allen-socialism-isolated-who-cares-a7451571.html |archive-date=14 June 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|newspaper=The Independent|date=2 December 2016|quote=Female singers who support the right are rare creatures – only Lulu has gone on record as an admirer of Maggie Thatcher whereas Lily Allen, Paloma Faith and Cheryl are right-on socialists}}</ref> Although she is a staunch supporter of the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/lily-allen/44687|title=Lily Allen: 'I'll still vote for Gordon Brown'|work=[[NME]]|date=15 May 2009|access-date=7 May 2014}}</ref> she was credited with helping inspire a parliamentary rebellion against former Prime Minister [[Gordon Brown]] when she wrote to all members of parliament asking them to back an amendment to an energy bill, requiring a reward scheme for home production of renewable energy.<ref>Lydall, Ross (2 May 2008) [https://www.scotsman.com/news/lily-allen-inspires-labour-energy-rebellion-1-1166373], ''[[The Scotsman]]''</ref> She later confirmed her support for the Labour Party and then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown in particular.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gigwise.com/news/50909/Lily-Allen-Pledges-Support-To-Gordon-Brown-And-Labour-Party|title=Lily Allen Pledges Support To Gordon Brown And Labour Party|last=Gregory|first=Jason|work=[[Gigwise]]|date=15 May 2009|access-date=27 April 2010}}</ref>

On 1 October 2009, Allen and several other musicians released the world's first digital musical petition aimed at pressuring world leaders attending the December 2009 [[2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference|climate change summit in Copenhagen]]. The petition included a cover of the song "[[Beds Are Burning]]" by [[Midnight Oil]].<ref>{{cite news|author=Angelique Chrisafis |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/oct/01/lily-allen-celebrity-climate-campaign |title=Lily Allen and Duran Duran launch celebrity climate campaign track |work=The Guardian |date=1 October 2009|access-date=24 July 2011 |location=London}}</ref>

During the London [[2016 London Assembly election|assembly]] and [[2016 London mayoral election|mayoral]] elections in April 2016, Allen announced that she would be giving "half her vote to the [[Women's Equality Party]]" – by voting for them on the London-wide Assembly list but voting Labour elsewhere.<ref>{{cite AV media | people=Lily Allen | date= 23 April 2016 | access-date= 28 April 2016 | title= Lily Allen: Give half your votes to equality on 5 May – WE think that's fair | medium= Video | publisher= Women's Equality Channel |via= [[YouTube]] | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sKNKX_Gp1M }}</ref>

In June 2016, Allen published several [[Twitter|tweets]] and attended protests in support of Labour Party leader [[Jeremy Corbyn]], after [[June 2016 British shadow cabinet resignations|mass resignations from his cabinet]] and a [[2016 Labour Party (UK) leadership election|leadership challenge]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/25/labour-divided-over-jeremy-corbyn-as-supporters-launch-petition/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/25/labour-divided-over-jeremy-corbyn-as-supporters-launch-petition/ |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Jeremy Corbyn supporters launch petition in backlash against Labour coup plot|first=Chris|last=Graham|newspaper=The Telegraph|date=25 June 2016}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/labour-crisis-jk-rowling-ewan-mcgregor-other-celebrity-takes-jeremy-corbyn-debate-1568125|title=JK Rowling, Ewan McGregor and Frances Barber enter the Jeremy Corbyn debate|first=Priyanka|last=Mogul|website=Ibtimes.co.uk|date=29 June 2016}}</ref>

On 15 June 2017, Allen appeared on ''[[Channel 4 News]]'' to discuss the [[Grenfell Tower fire]]. She claimed that "the death count has been downplayed by the mainstream media", disputing the then official figure of 17 fatalities by saying, "I'm hearing from people that the figure is much closer to 150".<ref>{{cite web |title=Lily Allen's Newsnight appearance cancelled after controversial Grenfell Tower comments |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/grenfell-tower-london-fire-victims-lily-allen-newsnight-jon-snow-channel-4-news-a7792846.html |url-status=live |url-access=subscription |website=The Independent |date=16 June 2017 |access-date=19 January 2018 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220614/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/grenfell-tower-london-fire-victims-lily-allen-newsnight-jon-snow-channel-4-news-a7792846.html |archive-date=14 June 2022}}</ref> The official death toll is now 72.<ref>{{cite web |title=Grenfell Tower fire: Who were the victims? |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40457212 |publisher=BBC News |date=30 May 2018 |access-date=5 August 2019}}</ref>

===Stalking ordeal===

Allen has spoken publicly about her seven-year stalking ordeal and the effect it had on her life. Her stalker, Alex Gray, first made contact with Allen in 2008 when he sent her a series of [[Twitter|tweets]], claiming he had written her song "[[The Fear (Lily Allen song)|The Fear]]", under the [[Twitter]] handle "@lilyallenisRIP". He then sent Allen threatening letters to her home, her clothes shop, her record label and her manager's office.<ref>{{cite book|last=Allen|first=Lily|date=20 September 2018|title=[[My Thoughts Exactly]]|publisher=[[Blink Publishing]]|isbn=978-1-911-60089-3}}</ref> In October 2015, he sent an email to his mother stating he was planning on murdering a celebrity and went on to spend nights in Allen's back garden, broke into her bedroom whilst she was sleeping, and ultimately forced Allen to move. Allen has strongly criticised the [[Metropolitan Police]] for their inaction in the case, which included refusals to show Allen a picture of her stalker, lending her a [[panic button|panic alarm]] before demanding it back and refusal to believe stalking incidents were linked.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/apr/16/lily-allen-stalked-singer-police|title=Lily Allen on being stalked: 'I was asleep.

At [[Harrow Crown Court]] on 10 June, Judge Martyn Barklem sentenced him to an indefinite hospital order. Gray was also made the subject of a restraining order and banned from entering the [[London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham]] or the [[Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-36496616|title=Singer Lily Allen's stalker sectioned|work=BBC News|date=10 June 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jun/10/lily-allen-stalker-alex-gray-mental-health-act|title=Lily Allen's stalker detained indefinitely under Mental Health Act|first=Lisa|last=O'Carroll|date=10 June 2016|website=Theguardian.com}}</ref>

Allen said that she isolated herself following the stalking incidents, believing that "nobody was taking me seriously because the police weren't taking me seriously". This coincided with her divorce, in which she says "everyone sided with [Cooper]", and her album ''No Shame'' became the outlet for her issues.<ref name="Levine-2018">{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/lily-allen-big-read-interview-2018|title=Lily Allen: "People try to reveal the most intimate details of my life without permission.

===Alleged assault and disparaging remarks===
Due to her outspokenness, Allen was the subject of many controversies early in her career.

On 28 June 2007, Allen was arrested in London for allegedly assaulting photographer Kevin Rush while she was leaving a nightclub in London's West End.
