Singer Lily Allen’s frank words on drug addiction, life in the public eye and former lovers have proved a hit with fans in her latest track.

Marking a musical comeback for the Not Fair singer following her last and chart-topping record Sheezus in 2014 and her festive cover of Somewhere Only We Know in 2013, the single was released on Tuesday featuring a collaboration with rapper Giggs.

It includes the lyrics: “When I grew up, nothing changed much/Anything went, I was famous/I would wake up next to strangers/Everyone knows what cocaine does/Numbing the pain when the shame comes, hey.”

HAHAAAAAAA OUT NOW ON ALL PLATFORMS. Congratulations Sis,proud of you❤️ @lilyallen
