Geboortedatum	02-05-1985
Land	Verenigd Koninkrijk

De Britse Lily Rose Beatrice Allen brengt in 2006 haar eerste album, Alright Still uit. Smile wordt in augustus van dat jaar haar eerste hit in Nederland en bereikt de top 10.

In 2009,als het album It’s Not Me, It’s You verschijnt, scoort ze met The Fear haar tweede notering. De opvolger, F**k You, bereikt de derde plaats. In september laat de zangeres weten dat ze geen nieuwe albums meer zal uitbrengen. De zangeres is ontevreden over de gang van zaken in de muziekindustrie en is bang dat ze geen geld meer kan verdienen.

In 2013 is de zangeres weer actief. Zo staat ze, als Lily Rose Cooper, opnieuw in de Top 40. Met True Love, een hit voor P!nk, scoort ze haar zesde hit in ons land. In november zingt ze het nummer Somewhere Only We Know, dat voor een commercial wordt gebruikt. De single bereikt de eerste plaats in de Britse en Ierse hitlijst. Een week later verschijnt Hard Out There, het nummer dat ook in Nederland een hit wordt.

Songtekst

Oh he treats me with respect
he says he loves me all the time
he calls me fifteen times a day
he likes to make sure that I'm fine

You know I've never met a man
who's made me feel quite so secure
he's not like all them other boys
they're all so dumb and immature

There's just one thing
that's getting in the way
when we go up to bed
you're just no good
it's such a shame

I look into your eyes
I want to get to know you
and then you make this noise
and it's apparent it's all over

It's not fair
and I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean

Oh, you're supposed to care
don't you never make me scream
you never make me scream

Oh, it's not fair
and it's really not ok
it's really not ok
it's really not ok

Oh, you're supposed to care
but all you do is take
yeah all you do is take

Oh I lie here in the wet patch
in the middle of the bed
I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by
I spent ages giving head

Then I remember all the nice things
that you've ever said to me
maybe I'm just overreacting
maybe you're the one for me

There's just one thing
that's getting in the way
when we go up to bed
you're just no good
it's such a shame

I look into your eyes
I want to get to know you
and then you make this noise
and it's apparent it's all over

It's not fair
and I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean

Oh, you're supposed to care
don't you never make me scream
you never make me scream

Oh, it's not fair
and it's really not ok
it's really not ok
it's really not ok

Oh, you're supposed to care
but all you do is take
yeah all you do is take

There's just one thing
that's getting in the way
when we go up to bed
you're just no good
it's such a shame

I look into your eyes
I want to get to know you
and then you make this noise
and it's apparent it's all over

It's not fair
and I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean

Oh, you're supposed to care
don't you never make me scream
you never make me scream

Oh, it's not fair
and it's really not ok
it's really not ok
it's really not ok

Oh, you're supposed to care
but all you do is take
yeah all you do is take
