Him by Lily Allen

Instead of focusing on love or personal reflections, “Him” takes a different route, posing questions about God and what He might think about the state of the world.
The lyrics are filled with curiosity and wonder, pondering on various attributes and opinions God might have, were He a person living in our contemporary world. Through these musings, Allen touches upon broader societal issues and human behavior, making listeners think about the world from a different perspective.
Fun fact: The diversity in themes across the “It’s Not Me, It’s You” album showcases Allen’s ability to blend personal experiences with broader existential questions, cementing her reputation as a versatile and thoughtful songwriter.
