Lily Allen to quit music

Lily Allen has announced she may quit music.

The 23-year-old singer revealed she will give up singing if her eagerly-anticipated second album, tentatively titled 'Stuck on the Naughty Step', is a flop.

Lily recently put the finishing touches to the follow up to 2006's 'Alright, Still' - which spawned the UK number one single 'Smile' - and fears she "got away with something" because of the huge success of her first album.

The 'Littlest Things' singer said: "I left school at 15. I'm not a genius songwriter. I don't think I'm really good at anything. I'm really scared about what people are going to say. I don't know why. Some people will like it and some won't. If people hate it, then I'll just try something else."

Lily said that if she does quit singing she would like to work behind the scenes role in the music industry, adding to Rolling Stone magazine: "I'd really like to do A+R at a record company."

Last month, Lily was in Los Angeles working on the album with producer Greg Kurstin, who produced two tracks on 'Alright, Still'. She revealed possible song titles include 'Everyone's at it' and 'He Wasn't There'.

Lily has also previewed possible tracks to be included on the LP on her MySpace internet page, including 'I Don't Know' and 'Guess Who Batman'. It was rumoured earlier this week that Lily was set to record a duet with Lindsay Lohan. The album is due for release next year.
