Alright, Still

Lily Allen’s sassy debut album, Alright, Still, rose to the fiery #2 spot on the UK Album Charts in 2006, went triple platinum, and since its initial release has sold over two million copies worldwide.

The album is essentially pop mixed with reggae, ska, grime, and hip-hop influences.
The lyrical contents of the songs
are dark, sadistically comedic, and at many times informal. They also revolve around relationships and pesky suitors and rivals.

Setting the overall juxtapositional tone in which she sardonically describes the subjects of her songs over peppy back music, Lily stated in an A.V. Club interview,

I feel very guilty a lot of the time about enjoying my life so much when there are people living in such misery. And I guess that kind of comes out in my record, you know? A bit confused.
