The 14 tracks Lily claimed to have written in 10 days reveal more about the upheaval she experienced after learning that David had been abducted.

Track with title

The title track of the album, which describes the couple’s early relationship, where Lily’s daughters live in a house in New York, is featured. She describes how happy she is that she has accepted a new role in West End productions 22 and A Ghost Story in 2021.

Lily says, “I miss you, but this is what you’re going to do.” The song then ends with an emotional phone call. Okay, so I’m not feeling great about it… If that’s what you need to do, then… I suppose. But how would it operate? I mean, I’m really depressed, but I want you to be content. You are my love.

Ruminating

Lily talks about how she couldn’t sleep while working in London in Song Ruminating. She claims, “I can’t shake the image of her naked.”

Then she sings, “Why can’t you wait for me to return home?” This conversation is too large for a call. I’ve spent the night ruminating and running. Did you look into her eyes while giving her a kiss? Have you enjoyed yourself? Will you not tell me that I’m still your number one now that it’s over, baby? Because you are my number one.

Sleepwalking

The third song on the album explores Lily’s reaction to her husband’s marriage ending. She then sings about how she initially believed there might be a second woman involved.

She sings: “‘ Why aren’t we f***ing, baby? ‘ Yes, you did exactly that. But you allowed me to believe that it was me and not the girls in your bed.

Tennis and Relapse

Lily makes the suggestion in Relapse that the two are in a committed relationship despite disagreeing with the idea. She sings, “I tried to be your modern wife, but the child in me protests.”

Before she discovers texts from a mystery girl on his phone, Tennis then discusses the singer’s plans for a welcome home meal for an unappreciative partner.

“I regret reading your texts,” I say. How you’ve been playing tennis has been convulsing my mind. I wouldn’t be jealous if it were just sex. You won’t play with me, Lily says, and who is Madeline?

Then she sings, “I have a lot of information that I can’t even process.” I then sent you a brief email explaining what I saw. And then you entered the bedroom, making it entirely my fault.

Just Enough and Madeline

Madeline features Lily admitting to texting the other woman involved in her marriage when she inquired, “Is it just sex or is emotion?”

She sings the depressing line “I think you’re in love with someone else, felt you pull away, and now I’m blaming myself” in the ballad Just Enough.

P**** Palace

One of the album’s most explosive songs, P***y Palace, features Lily describing kicking her husband out of their New York home and moving him to a different West Village apartment.

She arrives at the apartment, which “she had assumed would be a dojo,” but I realized something wasn’t working. Am I a “sex addict,” then?

She claims in the second verse that she found a shoebox of sexy toys as well as letters “from broken hearted women that wish you could have been better” and “how did I get caught up in your double life”?

Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan has weighed in on hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman’s shock exit from the show. Whilst praising the pair, he added that ‘weak’ pro dancers should follow them out.

Tess and Claudia announced their departure from the show on Thursday (23 October) in a joint video, where they said: “After 21 wonderfully joyful years on Strictly, we have decided that the time is right to step aside.”

They added that they are bound by a collective bargain. Tess referred to Strictly as her “third child” and “second family” in a separate statement, promising to continue watching but felt the need to “hand over the reins.”

Among the celebrities giving their thoughts on the situation was James Jordan, who performed as a professional dancer on the series for eight years and whose partners included Denise Van Outen and Vanessa Feltz. He said the pair’s departure was a “big statement” but had nothing to do with the show’s recent scandals.

James told the Daily Mail, “It’s a big statement for them both to leave at once.” He continued, saying that “the scandals have no bearing on them” and that “things like that happen on a daily basis in all walks of life” doesn’t mean that the pair was exempt from the show.

He added that Strictly should also change their lineup of professional dancers. There needs to be more fresh blood in the professionals right now, according to the pro dancers. You need to know when to hang up your shoes, because it’s unfair for some pros on the show to do that.

James, who is married to fellow pro-dancer Ola Jordan, was infamous during his Strictly run for his hot-headed nature and conflicts with judge Craig Revel Horwood.

In 2011, the two were thought to be in feud after Craig scored James and his One Show partner Alex Jones a six for their charleston, outraging the dancer so much, he was reported to have stormed out of the studio.

His wife stayed for another two years while James left the show in 2013. Ola did so in series seven with Chris Hollins, but James also never won.

Additionally, James discussed who should take Tess and Claudia in place. Bradley Walsh and Tess’ own husband Vernon Kay suggested that the radio host belonged to an “underrated host.”

Roman Kemp was called an “outside the box” pick by him and added him to the mix. Then James added Stacey Dooley and Rylan Clark, two of his current favorites. Rylan may have been a better choice for him, but Stacey might have been, but not James’.
