Sheezus es un álbum de Lily Allen, publicado en 2014. El disco incluye 14 canciones, entre ellas «Sheezus», «L8 Cmmr», «Air Balloon» y «Our Time».
Sobre el álbum
"Sheezus" es el título del tercer álbum de Lily Allen, publicado el 2 de mayo de 2014 por Parlophone, cinco años después de su exitoso "It's Not Me, It's You", de 2009, del que se vendieron más de un millón de copias sólo en Reino Unido.Para "Sheezus", Lily Allen cuenta con la colaboración del compositor y productor estadounidense Greg Kurstin, quien ha trabajado anteriormente para artistas de la talla de Adele, Foo Fighters y Kelly Clarkson, entre otros.
Si en su anterior trabajo Lily Allen había mutado el ska y el reggae en electropop, en esta ocasión continúa con su evolución musical, presentándonos un álbum más maduro que vino después de unos años que se tomó como descanso y que aprovechó para, entre otras cosas, crear su propio sello discográfico.
El primer sencillo de "Sheezus" fue el titulado "Hard out Here", lanzado el 17 de noviembre de 2013. Escrito por Lily Allen y Greg Kurstin, es un tema de estilo synth-pop que habla sobre las presiones que existen en la industria musical y sobre el machismo imperante en este sector.

"Air Balloon" se publicó el 2 de marzo de 2014, aunque fue estrenada unos días antes en las radios británicas. Escrita conjuntamente por Lily junto al compositor y productor sueco Shellback, conocido por sus trabajos con Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift y One Direction. El vídeo fue grabado por el dúo That Go, formado por Noel Paul y Stefan Moore, entre Sudáfrica y Reino Unido y nos muestra a una Lily Allen caminando por un safari entre animales salvajes.
"Our Time", el tercer sencillo, fue publicado el 10 de marzo de 2014, con menor éxito que los anteriores, pero que vino también acompañado por un vídeo en el que podemos ver a Lily Allen disfrutando de una noche de fiesta con unos amigos, interpretados por ella misma.
"URL Badman" (13 de julio de 2014) es una mezcla de synth-pop y rasgos de hip hop. Nos muestra una escena de una madre con su hijo, con internet de fondo, como forma de crítica hacia los blogs que la juzgaron anteriormente. Este sencillo viene con una cara B, el tema "Bass Like Home", que fue una versión no oficial para la Copa del Mundo de Fútbol que se celebró en Reino Unido.
El quinto y último sencillo de "Sheezus" fue "As Long as I Got You", lanzado el 24 de agosto de 2014, una canción con aires country y que tuvo escasa acogida.

As I lay down on the bed Trying to come to terms with what has just been said I don't know where I should look or what to say Is this happening to us today? If I could then I would scream I'd wipe the tears off of my face Wake me up if it's a dream This is more than I can take I'd give everything I own If someone else could take my place Could someone else please take my place? How can life be so unfair? I can't breathe, in fact I'm choking on the air It's all over, I can see it in your eyes Hold my hand, don't ever leave my side If I could then I would scream I'd wipe the tears off of my face Wake me up if it's a dream This is more than I can take I'd give everything I own If someone else could take my place Could someone else please take my place?

It seems like only yesterday you were with somebody else Soon as it was over though I had claimed you for myself Didn't take me long before I had moved my stuff to yours Glad to leave the past behind and I'm glad to close the door Because you know I love you Because you know I love you So far has been so good and it seems that we'll stand the test of time You never call me "baby" but you refer to me as "mine" What I like the best is how you can keep me on my toes Staying home with you is better than sticking things up my nose I had that awful feeling, that I needed help My life had lost its meaning, but you saved me from myself As long as I've got you and we can be Together and forever just you and me, well, that's swell You sleep with your mouth wide open and you go to the pub alone You only cook from frozen but I don't ever hear you moan You let me lie in bed when you're doing breakfast with the kids I've landed on my feet with you, I'm so happy, this is how we live Because you know I love you Because you know I love you I had that awful feeling, that I needed help My life had lost its meaning, but you saved me from myself As long as I've got you and we can be Together and forever just you and me, well, that's swell I had that awful feeling, that I needed help My life had lost its meaning, but you saved me from myself As long as I've got you and we can be Together and forever just you and me, well, that's swell As long as I've got you and we can be Together and forever just you and me, well, that's swell As long as I've got you and we can be Together and forever just you and me, well, that's swell - Close Your Eyes3:37

When the day's over and I have a second to myself I lie on the sofa watching TV Get on the computer and start checking up on everyone else On everyone else Looking at all the pictures Up to all sorts of mischief Some of them are ridiculous Everything's there to see Everyone looks so wasted Totally off their faces I feel so isolated Everyone there but me Why does it feel like I'm missing something?

Have you thought about your butt? Who's gonna tear it in two? We've never had it so good, uh-huh, we're out of the woods And if you can't detect the sarcasm, you've misunderstood Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say I'll go ahead and say them anyway Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here for a bitch It's hard for a bitch (for a bitch) for a bitch, It's hard It's hard out here for a bitch It's hard for a bitch (for a bitch) for a bitch, It's hard It's hard out here A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch Inequality promises that it's here to stay Always trust the injustice 'cause it's not going away Inequality promises that it's here to stay Always trust the injustice 'cause it's not going away Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say I'll go ahead and say them anyway Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here for a bitch It's hard for a bitch (for a bitch) for a bitch, It's hard It's hard out here for a bitch It's hard for a bitch (for a bitch) for a bitch, It's hard It's hard out here It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here for a bitch It's hard for a bitch (for a bitch) for a bitch, It's hard It's hard out here for a bitch It's hard for a bitch (for a bitch) for a bitch, It's hard It's hard out here Bitch - Interlude1:38
