Lily Allen Teases New Single 'Trigger Bang' Featuring Giggs
The 'Sheezus' legend's new album is ready to go and we might be hearing the first single VERY soon...
Lily Allen is not playing any games.
Four years after she came out of retirement and dropped 'Hard Out Here', the singer seems to have announced details of her brand new single and it already sounds huge.
Her fourth studio album has been in the works since 2014 with everyone from Mark Ronson to Sean Paul being rumoured collaborators, however the new song will see her team up with British rapper Giggs.
I don't troll, I make statements
I'm not a cliché sittin' in my PJ's
Double cupping at lunch on a Tuesday
I'm like Drake, see? So don't hate me
I get vexed if you don't appreciate me
Real talk, I'll put the world to rights
So when I'm a big boy, I'm gonna write for Vice
It's not for me? It must be wrong
I could ignore it and move on
But I'm a Broadband Champion
A U-R-L Badman
And if you're tryna call it art
I'll have to take it all apart
I got a high-brow game plan
A U-R-L Badman
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D-M-A-N with no empathy
I got a high-brow game plan
A U-R-L Badman
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D-M-A-N and you're dead to me
'Cause I'm a Broadband Champion
A U-R-L Badman
Spectacles with no prescription
Short-shorts with conviction
Supreme, Palace, APC
Sizzurp in a chalice, yeah, that's so me
I'm a London white boy repping ATL
Keyboard Warrior that can't spell
I don't like you, I think you're worthless
I wrote a long piece about it up on my WordPress
It's not for me? It must be wrong
I could ignore it and move on
But I'm a Broadband Champion
A U-R-L Badman
And if you're tryna call it art
I'll have to take it all apart
I got a high-brow game plan
A U-R-L Badman
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D-M-A-N with no empathy
I got a high-brow game plan
A U-R-L Badman
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D-M-A-N and you're dead to me
'Cause I'm a Broadband Champion

I like Jordans, Jay Rich, DJ Scream shit
Complex, Pitchfork, Winnie The Pooh shit
I'm a space ghost perpetrator
A bottom half of Idolator
Check for Tyler the Creator
A blogospheric vindicator
A$AP, Kanye, XX remix
Mike Jones, Paul Wall, I need a Kleenex
I don't like girls much, they kinda silly
Unless, of course, they wanna play with my willy
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D-M-A-N with no empathy
I got a high-brow game plan
A U-R-L Badman
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D-M-A-N and you're dead to me

Sheezus posted a snap on her Instagram story of a vinyl labelled "Lily Allen ft. Giggs - Trigger Bang", which fans are pretty much taking as confirmation of the lead single.
The 'Trigger Bang' news comes just days after Lily tweeted about the album, saying "I wish I could just drop my album today". When asked if a single is coming "soon", she simply replied: "Almost definitely."
So, maybe? We're going to be optimistic and hope that the 'almost' has disappeared in the past few days and plans are underway to drop the new song ASAP because we know we need it.
Giggs has been in the game for over a decade yet his career is at an all-time high after appearing on Drake's More Life mixtape earlier this year, giving him his first two Top 20 hits in the UK.
Allen's last Top 40 appearance was this year's surprise collaboration with Stormzy and Kehlani, 'Cigarettes & Cush', that appeared on Stormzy's debut album.
Anticipation for Lily's new album - reportedly titled The Fourth Wall - is high after her longtime collaborator Mark Ronson described her new songs as "some of her best ever" in a 2016 interview.
Now if that was said over a year ago, think how amazing the album sounds now! We need to hear this new song now!

I'm still swaying like I was on a cruise ship
Took the words straight out of my mouth
Come on everybody back to my house
Take my hand now, you're coming over
It doesn't matter you can sleep on my sofa
Bring some fags and brings some Rizlas
We're gonna party like it's nobody's business
Let your hair down now
It's the end of the week
And this is our time now
Let's forget everything
And put your glad-rags on
Dressing up like we're queens of the night
And we just wanna dance the night away
We don't give a damn what people say
We've had enough so turn it up
Tonight we're taking over
And we will all drink 'til we lose our minds
Wanna lose sense of space and time
We're going through, it's how we do
Tonight we're taking over
I feel fly
I'm rockin' Kenzo
I'll get high but I ain't doin' benzos
I might dance like your auntie
I don't care 'cause we're here to party
I got a quite good record collection
Yeah I got everything that came out on Def Jam
I've got hip-hop, I've got dub step
I'll take us right through from sunrise to sunset
Let your hair down now
It's the end of the week
And this is our time now
Let's forget everything
And put your glad-rags on
Dressing up like we're queens of the night
And we just wanna dance the night away
We don't give a damn what people say
We've had enough so turn it up
Tonight we're taking over
And we will all drink 'til we lose our minds
Wanna lose sense of space and time
We're going through, it's how we do
Tonight we're taking over
Drink a little more
Dance a little harder
Shout a little louder if you like
Move a little faster
Stand a little taller
Do whatever makes you feel alright
Drink a little more
Dance a little harder
Shout a little louder if you like
Move a little faster
Stand a little taller
Do whatever makes you feel alright
Go harder
Go harder now
Go harder
Go harder now
And we just wanna dance the night away
We don't give a damn what people say
We've had enough so turn it up
Tonight we're taking over
And we will all drink 'til we lose our minds
Wanna lose sense of space and time
We're going through, it's how we do
Tonight we're taking over (go harder)
And we just wanna dance the night away
We don't give a damn what people say
We've had enough so turn it up
Tonight we're taking over (go harder)
And we will all drink 'til we lose our minds
Wanna lose sense of space and time
We're going through, it's how we do
Tonight we're taking over
