Lily Allen has hinted at recording fresh solo material since last year, and on Tuesday (Nov. 12), the British pop star at long last unveiled a new song and video. "Hard Out Here" takes the "LDN" songstress into Auto-tuned, deeply sarcastic territory, as Allen tears into society's (and the music biz's) outlandish expectations for females.
"You should probably lose some weight, 'cuz we can't see your bones/You should probably fix your face, or you'll end up on your own," Allen sneers in the second verse of the bouncy song, which also takes aim at men who can openly brag about their sex lives while slut-shaming their counterparts. The video for "Hard Out Here" is pure, unabashed cheek, as Allen is first scolded by her agent for gaining weight during her two pregnancies but then flips the script, comically features some female ass-jiggling and even has silver, Robin Thicke-like balloons spell out… wait for it… "Lily Allen Has A Baggy Pussy."
