Lily Allen Is Selling Butt Plug–Shaped Merch Inspired by ‘P**** Palace’ Song

Published

Lily Allen unveiled new merch inspired by her latest album, West End Girl — and one item references the headline-making track “P**** Palace.”

Allen, 40, announced the “limited” drop on Wednesday, December 3, via Instagram, sharing a photo of herself holding the item in question, which appeared to be a butt plug. “Limited merch drop, live now 🍑🔌,” she wrote.

After navigating to Allen’s website, however, fans learned that the item wasn’t actually a sex toy but instead a $33.99 USB drive shaped like a butt plug that includes a digital copy of West End Girl. A disclaimer helpfully noted, “This product is a novelty USB device intended for data storage only.”

Despite the fact that the toy wasn’t really a toy at all, Allen’s fans couldn’t wait to get their hands on the product. Us Weekly was hit with an 8-minute wait time to enter Allen’s webstore and a message warning, “We are experiencing a high volume of traffic and using a virtual queue to limit the amount of users on the website at the same time.”

Other items for sale included a $47 T-shirt bearing the message, “And who the f*** is Madeline?” and a polka dot vinyl edition of the record nodding to the coat Allen wears on the cover.

Allen dropped West End Girl on October 24, and listeners immediately assumed the scathing lyrics were about her split from estranged husband David Harbour. The pop star has acknowledged that the songs are a mix of “fact and fiction.”

“P**** Palace,” the song referencing the butt plug, is perhaps the most famous track from the album, with its explicit lyrics about a woman kicking her partner out after realizing how much he was cheating on her. In the second verse, Allen sings about finding a “Duane Reade bag with the handles tied” that was full of “sex toys, butt plugs, lube inside” and “hundreds of Trojans.”

The woman Madeline, meanwhile, is “fictional,” per Allen, who noted the character is “a construct of others.”

Madeline is named multiple times throughout West End Girl, including on “Tennis,” where Allen repeatedly asks, “Who’s Madeline?”

Harbour, 50, has not directly commented on West End Girl but recently acknowledged “mistakes” he’s made.

“I would change either everything or nothing,” he told Esquire UK when asked about what he’d change in his life. “You either accept your path completely and realize that even the pain and the slip-ups and the mistakes are all part of the journey, and that there’s truth and growth, wisdom and deeper empathy and connection in all that. It’s kind of like a house of cards, the minute you try to change one thing you kind of have to change it all.”

Allen and Harbour tied the knot in 2020 after going public with their romance the year prior. Rumors began surfacing in December 2024 that the duo had called it quits, but neither commented at the time.

While promoting West End Girl, Allen hinted that the split took place prior to Christmas 2024, as she finished recording the album before the holidays that year.

“Since I’ve put it out, it’s felt completely and utterly liberating,” she told CBS Mornings last month. “It was kind of hellish having it in the background. … It said everything that I needed to say. And I felt like I couldn’t really, like, get on with my life until I’d said it.”
