Air Balloon by Lily Allen
“Air Balloon” is a track from Lily Allen’s third studio album, “Sheezus,” released in 2014. The song was penned by Allen herself and Swedish producer, Shellback. Unlike some of her more satirical and commentary-driven songs, “Air Balloon” offers a lighter, carefree vibe, with lyrics that talk about escaping the monotony of daily life and floating away, much like a balloon in the sky.
Through the song, Allen expresses a desire to break free from the mundane aspects of life and explore something new, a sentiment that many can relate to. The upbeat melody paired with the dreamy lyrics create an aura of escapism, making listeners yearn for their own adventure away from routine.
Fun fact: “Sheezus” was named in playful jest referencing Kanye West’s “Yeezus” album. Allen has said in interviews that this album was her most personal one, as she tackled various themes, including her experiences as a mother, her relationships, and her fame.
