Lily Allen - Hard Out Here

dermurat1980

Review by Murat Derviş

Album Review: Lily Allen’s Hard Out Here Lily Allen’s 2013 album Hard Out Here is a bold, genre-blending effort that straddles pop, rock, and electronic influences with a synth-pop sheen. Released across Europe—Finland, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands—it feels like a project crafted for a global audience but with a distinctly personal edge. Backed by labels like Parlophone and Warner Music Central Europe, this record doesn’t just lean on big names; it delivers. Written primarily by Greg Kurstin and Lily herself, the album tackles themes of identity, resilience, and self-worth, all while keeping your feet tapping. Let’s dive into two standout tracks that make this album stick in your head. First up, the title track “Hard Out Here.” It’s sharp, sassy, and unapologetically feminist. The lyrics cut deep without being preachy, and the beat? Absolutely infectious. You can’t help but nod along as Allen calls out double standards in the music industry and beyond. What makes it memorable isn’t just its message—it’s how cleverly she packages it. Lines like “You’ll never make it if you’re lazy” hit hard because they feel real, raw, and relatable. Plus, the production is slick enough to keep you coming back for repeat listens. Then there’s her cover of Keane’s “Somewhere Only We Know.” Now, covering such an iconic song is risky business, but Allen pulls it off beautifully. Her version strips away some of the original’s bombast and replaces it with tender vulnerability. The stripped-down arrangement lets her voice shine, and honestly? It might even outdo the original in terms of emotional punch. This track sticks with you not because it reinvents the wheel but because it reminds you why simplicity sometimes speaks louder than complexity. What strikes me most about Hard Out Here is how it balances fun with substance. Sure, it’s packed with catchy hooks and polished production, but beneath the surface lies a commentary on modern life that feels refreshingly honest. And hey, maybe that’s what makes Lily Allen so special—she doesn’t try too hard to be perfect. She’s messy, witty, and human, and that shines through every note. Here’s the thing though: listening to this album now feels almost nostalgic, like flipping through old photos from a wild night out. It’s not flawless, but it doesn’t need to be. In fact, its imperfections are kinda what make it work. So yeah, give Hard Out Here a spin—not just for the beats, but for the stories behind them. Oh, and one last thought: if this album were a person, it’d probably have a killer Twitter account. Just saying.

I suppose I should tell you what this bitch is thinking
You'll find me in the studio and not in the kitchen
I won't be bragging about my cars or talking 'bout my chains
Don't need to shake my ass for you 'cause I've got a brain
If I told you about my sex life, you call me a slut
Them boys be talking 'bout their bitches, no one's making a fuss
There's a glass ceiling to break, uh-hu, there's money to make
And now it's time to speed it up 'cause I can't move at this pace
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
I'll go ahead and say them anyway
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here
For a bitch it's hard (For a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here
For a bitch it's hard (For a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here
If you're not a size six and you're not good looking
Well, you better be rich or be real good at cooking
You should probably lose some weight 'cause we can't see your bones
You should probably fix your face or you'll end up on your own
Don't you want to have somebody who objectifies you
Have you thought about you butt, who's gonna tear in in two
We've never had it so good, uh-hu, we're out of the woods
And if you can't detect the sarcasm, you've misunderstood
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
I'll go ahead and say them anyway
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here
For a bitch it's hard (For a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here
For a bitch it's hard (For a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch (Bitch)
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch (Ah)
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch
Inequality promises that it's here to stay
Always trust the injustice 'cause it's not going away
Inequality promises that it's here to stay
Always trust the injustice 'cause it's not going away
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
I'll go ahead and say them anyway
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here

Tôi cho rằng tôi nên nói cho bạn biết con chó cái này đang nghĩ gì
I suppose I should tell you what this bitch is thinking

Bạn sẽ tìm thấy tôi trong studio chứ không phải trong bếp
You'll find me in the studio and not in the kitchen

Tôi sẽ không khoe khoang về những chiếc ô tô của mình hay nói về dây chuyền của mình
I won't be bragging about my cars or talking 'bout my chains

Không cần phải lắc mông của tôi cho bạn vì tôi có một bộ não
Don't need to shake my ass for you 'cause I've got a brain

Nếu tôi nói với bạn về đời sống tình dục của tôi, bạn gọi tôi là một con đĩ
If I told you about my sex life, you call me a slut

Các chàng trai đang nói chuyện về những con chó cái của họ, không ai làm ầm lên
Them boys be talking 'bout their bitches, no one's making a fuss

Có một trần kính để phá vỡ, uh-hu, có tiền để kiếm
There's a glass ceiling to break, uh-hu, there's money to make

Và bây giờ là lúc để tăng tốc vì tôi không thể di chuyển với tốc độ này
And now it's time to speed it up 'cause I can't move at this pace

Đôi khi thật khó tìm lời để nói
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say

Tôi sẽ tiếp tục và nói dù sao đi nữa
I'll go ahead and say them anyway

Quên quả bóng của bạn và phát triển một cặp vú
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits

Thật khó, thật khó, thật khó ở đây
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here
Đối với một con chó cái thật khó (Cho một con chó cái, cho một con chó cái)
For a bitch it's hard (For a bitch, for a bitch)

Đối với một con chó cái thật khó, thật khó ở đây
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here

Đối với một con chó cái thật khó (Cho một con chó cái, cho một con chó cái)
For a bitch it's hard (For a bitch, for a bitch)

Đối với một con chó cái thật khó, thật khó ở đây
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here
Nếu bạn không phải là cỡ sáu và bạn không ưa nhìn
If you're not a size six and you're not good looking

Chà, tốt hơn là bạn nên giàu có hoặc nấu ăn thật giỏi
Well, you better be rich or be real good at cooking

Bạn có lẽ nên giảm cân vì chúng tôi không thể nhìn thấy xương của bạn
You should probably lose some weight 'cause we can't see your bones

Bạn có lẽ nên sửa lại khuôn mặt của mình hoặc bạn sẽ tự kết thúc
You should probably fix your face or you'll end up on your own

Bạn không muốn có ai đó phản đối bạn sao?
Don't you want to have somebody who objectifies you

Bạn có nghĩ về mông của bạn, ai sẽ xé làm đôi
Have you thought about you butt, who's gonna tear in in two

Chúng tôi chưa bao giờ có nó tốt như vậy, uh-hu, chúng tôi ra khỏi rừng
We've never had it so good, uh-hu, we're out of the woods

Và nếu bạn không thể phát hiện ra sự mỉa mai, bạn đã hiểu sai
And if you can't detect the sarcasm, you've misunderstood

Đôi khi thật khó tìm lời để nói
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say

Tôi sẽ tiếp tục và nói dù sao đi nữa
I'll go ahead and say them anyway

Quên quả bóng của bạn và phát triển một cặp vú
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits

Thật khó, thật khó, thật khó ở đây
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here
Đối với một con chó cái thật khó (Cho một con chó cái, cho một con chó cái)
For a bitch it's hard (For a bitch, for a bitch)

Đối với một con chó cái thật khó, thật khó ở đây
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here

Đối với một con chó cái thật khó (Cho một con chó cái, cho một con chó cái)
For a bitch it's hard (For a bitch, for a bitch)

Đối với một con chó cái thật khó, thật khó ở đây
For a bitch it's hard, it's hard out here
Chó cái, chó cái, chó cái, chó cái, chó cái (Bitch)
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch (Bitch)

Chó cái, chó cái, chó cái, chó cái, chó cái (Ah)
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch (Ah)

Chó cái, chó cái, chó cái, chó cái, chó cái
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch

Chó cái, chó cái, chó cái, chó cái, chó cái
A bitch, a bitch, a bitch, bitch, bitch
Sự bất bình đẳng hứa hẹn rằng nó sẽ tồn tại ở đây
Inequality promises that it's here to stay

Luôn tin vào sự bất công vì nó sẽ không biến mất
Always trust the injustice 'cause it's not going away

There is no else who can criticize me to play the record album from Warner Bros except for Lily Allen.
