As Long As I Got You by Lily Allen
Featured on her third studio album, “Sheezus,” which was released in 2014, “As Long As I Got You” is an upbeat song penned by Lily Allen and Greg Kurstin. The track speaks about love and contentment, emphasizing that as long as one has their loved one by their side, other materialistic or superficial aspects of life pale in comparison.
In the lyrics, Allen talks about the ups and downs she has faced in life and how they don’t seem as challenging or depressing when she has her significant other by her side. It’s a song of gratitude, loyalty, and unwavering love, a stark contrast to some of the other more satirical tracks on the album.
Fun fact: “Sheezus,” the album on which the song appears, is a mixture of playful, critical, and loving songs, showcasing Allen’s versatility as a songwriter. The album’s title itself is a tongue-in-cheek nod to Kanye West’s “Yeezus.”
