Lily Allen Shares Unofficial World Cup Song, Then Removes It

Lily Allen has unveiled an unofficial World Cup song named Bass Like Home - and almost immediately seems to have removed it from Soundcloud.

For the lucky few who were able to hear it, the track was named Bass Like Home and - perhaps due to being unofficial - didn't actually mention the World Cup at all.

Lily's track is no longer showing up on Soundcloud (@lilyallen/Twitter)

Instead, it was more like a list of Lily's favourite things in Britain, although she does mention former England footballer Paul Gascoigne - along with William Shakespeare, John Lennon, lager and the Queen.

Posting the track on Twitter, Lily wrote: "My unofficial #worldcup song BASS LIKE HOME."

So far there's no word on why the song is no longer available, although Lily has posted a sad emoji on Twitter - so take that as you will.

It's not the first time that the Allen family have been unofficially involved with the World Cup, as Lily's dad Keith Allen recorded the now cult classic Vindaloo. The song was for the 1998 World Cup, and Blur bassist Alex James wrote the music while Keith took over the lyrics.

Another World Cup inspired single this year is Greatest Day which features a number of celebrities including Gary Barlow, Kimberley Walsh, Katy B, Gary Lineker and Michael Owen.

No sign of Paul Gascoigne, though.
