Lily Allen has released a novelty USB stick that references a line from her track “Pussy Palace.”
In a post shared on social media, the 40-year-old singer-songwriter announced that she’s releasing a limited merch drop of USB sticks designed to look like butt plugs. Is it functional? As a USB stick, sure, featuring her latest album, West End Girl, in MP3 format. As a toy, however, it’s not advised that you put it near your rear end. On the product page for the merch, the store stresses, “This product is a novelty USB device intended for data storage only.”
Alongside the announcement of the USB stick, Allen posed with the merch inside the back of a car.
The merch is a clear reference to lyrics from the track “Pussy Palace,” which immediately made headlines for its salacious lyrics about infidelity. “Duane Reade bag with the handles ties / Sex toys, butt plugs, lube inside,” she sings in the second verse of the track. “Hundreds of Trojans, you’re so fucking broken / How did I get caught up in your double life?”
Shortly after the release of the album, many assumed the lyrics were about her marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour, whom he separated from earlier this year. While he hasn’t directly addressed the allegations that he was unfaithful during their marriage, he did recently admit that he’s made “mistakes.”
In an interview with Esquire, he was asked if there’s anything he’d regret or change about his life. “That's such a hard question—the question of regret, or something. I would change either everything or nothing," Harbour said. "You either accept your path completely and realise 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."
