Sheezus is the third studio album by English recording artist Lily Allen, released on 2 May 2014 by Parlophone. The album is Allen's first body of work since her musical hiatus in 2009 after the release of second studio album, It's Not Me, It's You (2009). In June 2012, Allen announced that she would be returning to music, revealing that she had been recording a new album and that she would be returning to the use of her professional name.
Sheezus features production from longtime collaborator Greg Kurstin, along with the likes of Shellback, DJ Dahi and Fraser T Smith. Upon release, Sheezus received mixed to positive reviews from music critics, who praised the album's lyrical content, social commentary and outlook but some felt that it lacked consistency and did not live up to Allen's previous works. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, becoming Allen's second consecutive number-one album.
The album was preceded by the release of two singles. The lead single "Hard out Here" was released on 17 November 2013 and entered the UK Singles Chart at number nine, giving Allen two simultaneous top ten hit singles. "Air Balloon" was released as the second single from the album, peaking at number seven on the UK Singles Chart.
