Lily Allen – As Long As I Got You
Lily Allen – As Long As I Got You (2014)
Directed by: Chris Sweeney
As Long As I Got You is a vibrant blend of zydeco and country influences, released on August 24, 2014, as the fifth and final single from Lily Allen’s third studio album, Sheezus. Co-written with Greg Kurstin and Karen Poole, and produced by Kurstin, the song celebrates the joy of love and companionship, emphasizing that material possessions pale in comparison to meaningful relationships. The accompanying music video, directed by Chris Sweeney, was filmed at the 2014 Glastonbury Festival—a significant location for Allen, who has attended the festival nearly every year since birth. The video features Allen engaging with festival-goers, interspersed with personal photographs and footage that chronicle her journey from attending Glastonbury as a child with her father to performing on the Pyramid Stage with her own family in attendance. This visual narrative underscores the song’s themes of love, growth, and the enduring significance of cherished experiences.
