Sobre el álbum
Tras el éxito de su debut, It's Not Me, It's You llegó en 2009 para consolidar a Lily Allen como una de las artistas pop más importantes e inteligentes de su generación. En este segundo trabajo, la cantante británica abandona el sonido ska y reggae de su primer disco para abrazar un electropop pulido y sofisticado, pero sin perder ni un ápice de su acidez lírica.
El sonido del álbum, producido íntegramente por Greg Kurstin, es una notable evolución. La producción es brillante, con un uso prominente de sintetizadores y ritmos de baile, creando un sonido de pop contemporáneo de una calidad excepcional. De esta manera, el álbum demuestra la increíble versatilidad de la artista.
Además, el disco contiene algunos de sus mayores éxitos y sus letras más afiladas. El single principal, "The Fear", es una brillante sátira sobre la cultura de la fama y el consumismo. "Not Fair" es una divertida canción de country-pop sobre la insatisfacción sexual, mientras que "Fuck You" se convirtió en un himno anti-odio en todo el mundo.
"It's Not Me, It's You" es una gran obra del pop satírico. Es un álbum que combina a la perfección estribillos irresistibles con una crítica social mordaz, un trabajo que no solo fue un éxito masivo, sino que también consagró a Lily Allen como una de las compositoras más lúcidas y necesarias de la música pop.

Letra
I want to be rich and I want lots of money I don't care about clever I don't care about funny I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds I heard people die while they are trying to find them And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless 'Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous. [Pre-chorus:] I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror I'm on the right track, yeah I'm on to a winner. [Chorus:] I don't know what's right and what's real anymore And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore And when do you think it will all become clear? 'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear Life's about film stars and less about mothers It's all about fast cars and cussing each other But it doesn't matter cause I'm packing plastic And that's what makes my life so fucking fantastic And I am a weapon of massive consumption And it's not my fault it's how I'm programmed to function [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] Forget about guns and forget ammunition 'Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinner Now everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner [Chorus] - Not Fair3:51
Letra
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 But 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 But 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 But 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 - 4.223:51
- I Could Say3:51
Letra
I could say that I'll always be here for you But that would be a lie and quite a pointless thing to do I could say that I'll always have feelings for you But I've got a life ahead of me and I'm only 22 Since you've gone I've lost that chip on my shoulder Since you've gone I feel like I've gotten older Now you're gone it's as if the whole wide world is my stage Now you're gone it's like I've been let out of my cage You always made it clear that you hated my friends You made me feel so guilty when I was running round with them And everything was always about being cool And now I've come to realise there's nothing cool about you at all Since you've gone I've lost that chip on my shoulder Since you've gone I feel like I've gotten older Now you're gone it's as if the whole wide world is my stage Now you're gone it's like I've been let out of my cage Since you've gone I've lost that chip on my shoulder Since you've gone I feel like I've gotten older Now you're gone it's as if the whole wide world is my stage Now you're gone it's like I've been let out of my cage - Back To The Start3:51
Letra
When we were growing up you always looked like you were having such fun You always were and you always will be the taller and the prettier one People seem to love you They gravitate towards you That's why I started to hate you so much And I just completely ignored you I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years All the pain I've caused you The constant flow of all the tears Believe me when I say that I cannot apologise enough When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love And if it's not too late Could you please find it deep within your heart To try and go back go back to the start Go back to the start I've been so evil with my constant invasions But you made it so easy for me You always rise to the occasion I'll always pull you up on every stupid thing that you say But I found it so entertaining Messing around with your head I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years All the pain I've caused you The constant flow of all the tears Believe me when I say that I cannot apologise enough When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love And if it's not too late Could you please find it deep within your heart To try and go back go back to the start Go back to the start Go back to the start Go back to the start This is not just a song I intend to put these words into action I hope that it sums up the way that I feel to your satisfaction I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years All the pain I've caused you The constant flow of all the tears Believe me when I say that I cannot apologise enough When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love And if it's not too late Could you please find it deep within your heart To try and go back go back to the start Go back to the start - Never Gonna Happen3:51
Letra
I don't wanna hurt you cause I don't think it's a virtue But you and I have come to our end Believe me when I tell you that I never wanna see you again And please can you stop calling cause it's getting really boring And I've told you I don't want to be friends Believe me when I tell you that I never wanna see you again How on earth could I be any more obvious? It never really did and now it's never gonna happen with the two of us I don't understand what it is that you're chasing after But it makes me really sad to hear you sound so desperate It just makes it harder I can see how it's confusing - it could be considered using When I call you up straight out of the blue But I don't understand what else a girl in my position's to do Now I know you feel betrayed but it's been weeks since I got laid This doesn't mean that I don't think you're a fool But I don't understand what else a girl in my position's to do How on earth could I be any more obvious? It never really did and now it's never gonna happen with the two of us I don't understand what it is that you're chasing after But it makes me really sad to hear you sound so desperate It just makes it harder I know it's rather ugly cause I know that you still love me And this isn't any kind of excuse I don't love you, I don't love you... How on earth could I be any more obvious? It never really did and now it's never gonna happen with the two of us I don't understand what it is that you're chasing after But it makes me really sad to hear you sound so desperate It just makes it harder - Fuck You3:51

Letra
I see you from the sky And I wonder how long it will take me to get home I wait for an hour or so at the carousel I have a cigarette to pass the time Cause the traffic's hell I don't want anything more Than to see your face when you open the door You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV You wipe the tears from my eye And you say that all that it takes is a phone call I cry at the thought of being alone and then I wonder how long it will take til I'm home again I don't want anything more Than to see your face when you open the door You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV I know it doesn't seem so fair But I'll send you a postcard when I get there I don't want anything more Than to see your face when you open the door You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV - He Wasn't There3:51
