Lily Allen is to kick off her musical comeback with a duet with Robbie Williams.

The 28-year-old Londoner announced her return to music last week, changing her Twitter handle from her married name @lilyrosecooper to @lilyallen.


She retired from music in 2009, but has now recorded a version of ‘Dream A Little Dream’ with the former Take That singer the Daily Express reports.

Allen admits she was slightly nervous while she was recording the song, but is happy with the finished product and believes her version with Robbie does justice to the classic track.

She released her last album back in 2009, but recently revealed that she coud have new music ready to unveil by March 2014, saying the new record is “shaping up pretty well.”

Allen has already returned to the top end of the UK Singles chart after featuring on Pink’s ‘True Love’, which reached No. 16 in Lily’s home country.

Allen's last release was It's Not Me, It's You back in 2009

At the start of this year Lily was apparently nervous about her return to music, worrying she’d left it too long since her retirement and saying her third album would be significantly different from he previous work.

But she seems to have put those concerns behind her as she gears up for her return.

Below: 10 classic Lily Allen quotes

  • "Cheryl [Cole], if you''re reading this, I may not be as pretty as you but at least I write and SING my own songs without the aid of Auto-Tune," said Lily as she slammed the star''''s talent.

  • "I must say that taking your clothes off, doing sexy dancing and marrying a rich footballer must be very gratifying, your mother must be so proud, stupid b*tch," said Lily in another rant against Cheryl.

  • "Lady GaGa is good, but she''''s a new artist, Britney Spears is a legend. They are two different artists, two forms of entertainment but very different, it''s like comparing Picasso to Dali."

  • "I have Katy Perry''s number, someone did me a favour. I''m just waiting for her to open her mouth one more time and then it hits Facebook," she said as she threatened to share the US star''s personal details.

  • Following her own success Lily shocks us with her plans after singing: "I think I might try and get into cricket commentary once I''ve finished singing."

  • But before any cricket Lily says she wants to branch out and write for other artists: "I''m still writing songs all the time and I won''t be writing just for myself anymore. I want to write for Lady Gaga."

  • Lily Allen revealed she was no Tory voter, when she said at a live show: "I''d like to dedicate this next song (''F**k You'') to someone. David Cameron."

  • As a war of words loomed between Lily and Courtney Love, she said: "As a rule I don''t pick on crazy old ladies."

  • "Perez Hilton is an irritating wasp in the beautiful rose garden that is my life."

  • Not a Belieber Lily? "I had no idea who this #justinbieber person was, just found out he''s that kid that''s always on the TV when I''m in the gym. He''s about 5 right?"
