  • She is the daughter of actor Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen.
  • Allen left school when she was 15 and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills.
  • In 2005, she made some of her recordings public on Myspace and the publicity resulted in airplay on BBC Radio 1 and a contract with Regal Recordings. Her first mainstream single, "Smile", reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006.
  • Her debut record, Alright, Still, was well received, selling over 2.6 million copies worldwide and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, the Brit Awards, and the MTV Video Music Awards.
  • She began hosting her own talk show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three. Her second studio album, It's Not Me, It's You, saw a genre shift, having more of an electropop feel, rather than the ska and reggae influences of the first one.

  • It spawned the hit singles "The Fear" and "Fuck You".
