[edit] Background
In April 2008, Allen announced that she was moving in a "new direction" on her upcoming record.[2] A year later, she described the album's sound in the April 2009 issue of Teen Vogue, saying it was "quite fun" and had "loads of different types of music—country, jazz, and electronic." She continued on to say, "I wanted to do something danceable, to make the gigs more interesting for me and the people watching."[3]
Allen recorded most of the album at Eagle Rock Studios in Los Angeles with producer Greg Kurstin of the band The Bird and the Bee.[4] Of the songwriting process, she said, "Greg builds the chords up and I just sing along and make up the words and then once you've got the bare song, we decide which way we're gonna go with the production."[5] They began recording in the autumn of 2007, with Allen declaring:
We decided to try and make bigger sounding, more ethereal songs, real songs. I wanted to work with one person from start to finish to make it one body of work. I wanted it to feel like it had some sort of integrity. I think the first song we did was "I Could Say". That set the tone for the whole album. I think I've grown up a bit as a person and I hope it reflects that.[6]
[edit] Myspace demos
Prior to the album's release, Allen posted a number of demos on her Myspace page.[7] The first two to appear were "I Could Say" and "I Don't Know" on 20 March 2008, the latter of which was retitled and released as the album's lead single, "The Fear". Based on the first two demos, Digital Spy described her new artistic direction as more mature, more reflective and more electronic.[8]
A third, politically charged clip was later posted, with the titles "Guess Who Batman" and later "Get with the Brogram", finally appearing as "GWB". Despite both working titles sharing initials with George W. Bush, Allen wrote that "this song is not a direct attack at anyone, it was originally written about the BNP in the UK but then I felt this issue has become relevant pretty much everywhere, we are the youth, we can make coolness for our future, its up to us. Go green and hate hate."[9] The song was retitled "Fuck You" for the album version.
Allen posted a fourth song on her Myspace page, called "Who'd of Known", noting that the song had been recorded for the album but would not be included due to legal issues since the chorus is musically similar to the Take That song "Shine".[10] However, Take That later did allow Allen to include the song on the album (now titled grammatically correctly as "Who'd Have Known").[10]
On 2 February, Allen posted all twelve tracks from her album to listen to on her Myspace profile page.
[edit] Release
In May 2008, Allen told The Sunday Mirror that the album was nearly finished. Allen said of the album: "I've worked so hard. My next album is nearly finished. I'm on a two-week break and then I'm starting a massive promotional tour."[11]
In August 2008, Allen blamed the delay in the album's release on her record company EMI.[12] On 15 September, it was announced via her Myspace blog that the album will be released on 9 February 2009.[13]
In July 2008, the working title of the album was confirmed as Stuck on the Naughty Step.[5] On 7 October at the BMI Awards, Allen announced that the album title had been changed to It's Not Me, It's You, due to the fact that she "lived with [the original title] for too long" and got bored of the original title.
On 29 October, Allen announced the album would be released in the United States on 10 February 2009. The track listings were also released. She described the sound as bigger and a more ethereal sound. She noted she has grown as a person and feels the album will have some sort of integrity.[4]
On 19 December, twelve-track promotional samplers were sent out to various blogs and online stores, to review ahead of the album's release. On 20 December, British newspaper The Sun gave away a free seven-track album mini-mix, as part of the ongoing promotion schedule by EMI. The mini-mix included "Everyone's at It" and "The Fear", as well as four previously unheard studio versions of "Not Fair", "22", "Never Gonna Happen" and "Fuck You". On 23 December, music magazine NME confirmed that the exclusive first play of the album would be available days before its physical release on their website.
It's Not Me, It's You debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, selling 112,568 copies in its first week of release.[14] In the United States, the album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 70,000 copies.[15] It spent twenty-one consecutive weeks in top 200. In France, it debuted at number eleven on the French Albums Chart selling 5,953 copies.[16] The album debuted at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart on sales of 8,500 units.[17] It was certified gold by the Canadian Recording Industry Association on 18 February 2010 for sales of 40,000 units.[18]
[edit] Promotion
Allen promoted the album all around the world. She appeared on GMTV in the UK where she performed "The Fear" with Mikey Torres. She again performed this song on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and The Sunday Night Project".
She performed "The Fear" and "Fuck You" in France on Le Grand Journal de Canal+ and sang "The Fear" on NRJ Radio.
Allen appeared on many American talk shows to promote her album, such as The Today Show, The View, Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. She also performed "The Fear" and "Not Fair" at Sessions@AOL.
She also went to Australia to promote the album where she appeared on talk show Rove Live where she performed "The Fear", "Not Fair" and "22", and Triple J radio station where she performed "The Fear", "Not Fair" and "He Wasn't There". She also performed "The Fear" on So You Think You Can Dance Australia.

[edit] Singles
Allen stated on her official website that "The Fear" was the chosen song for the lead single. The song had its radio premiere via on The Scott Mills Show on 1 December 2008. The song's official music video had its premiere on 4 December at Channel 4, but it was leaked before the official release date; it was uploaded on YouTube two hours before the official premiere.[19] It had 200 views before the premiere, although Parlophone's official YouTube account uploaded it on 3 December. It was released on the European iTunes Store on 4 December and on the US iTunes Store, the song later became Allen's second number one in the UK, climbing a massive 167 places to the top spot.
"Not Fair" was released on 20 March via digital download, and on 16 May as a CD single. "Not Fair" was played by DJ Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2 days before the release of the album, and was heavily edited to 02:04, removing the line "Oh I lie here in the wet patch in the middle of the bed, I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by, I've spent ages giving head".
"Fuck You" was released as the album's third single on 19 May 2009. "Fuck You" was released on the Australian iTunes store on 22 April, available as a censored version different to that which appeared on the "The Fear" EP, and the normal album version. The track peaked at number nine on the Czech Airplay Chart, under the demo name "Guess Who Batman".[20] The song also received much airplay on Australian radio stations Nova and Triple J, and charted at number ninety on the 2008 Triple J Hottest 100. It eventually reached number twenty-three on the ARIA Singles Chart.[21]
"22" was released as the album's fourth official single on 14 July 2009.

[edit] Other songs

It's Not Me, It's You received positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 71, based on 32 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[26] Reviewing for The Observer, Garry Mulholland awarded the album five out of five, calling this a "wonderful record," and added that it is "a pop album brave enough to have a go at defining the times."[36] James Skinner of Drowned in Sound echoed these sentiments, stating that "when Lily Allen is at the top of her game, she is the (im)perfect pop star for our times" in a generally positive review.[28] Clash concluded: "Britain's mouthy pop idol returns triumphantly and with the brawny guts to stick with what she knows best", after commenting that Allen "probably has enough personal ammunition to fuel a ten-year career of brutally autobiographical albums".[37] Mikael Wood of Billboard stated the album is "hardly the grown-up buzz-kill it might have been", according with him, it was thanks to "Allen's still-sharp lyrical wit and an exceedingly crafty production job by Greg Kurstin." Wood also praised in particular the track "Him", calling it an "irresistible tune".[38]
The album was favourably reviewed by The Daily Telegraph. Reviewer Neil McCormick praised her more personal songs on the album; "It is when she turns her sharp tongue to her own affairs of the heart that Allen's growing adventurousness and lyrical confidence really pay off....But in particular Who'd Have Known is a tender evocation of friendship turning to love, in which the detail is telling and Allen's vocal performance positively glows with easy affection. On such songs, Allen still sounds like a real person telling us the most intimate details of her real life, only with better hooks." McCormick also praised the lead single as "superb" and "an ironic declaration of celebrity superficiality set to a pulsing, sleekly modern electro dance backing."[39]
