Lily Allen's genre is mainly known as pop, pop rock and electropop. This means her target audience tends to me young females between the ages of 14-20 years old. An example is Lily Allens single 'The Fear' which is about celebrity culture which of course young females are very interested, it was this single that was clased as Electropop and made it to number one for four weeks. http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE51E1NR20090215
Similar to American pop star 'Pink'(who also has a target audience of Young females) , Lily Allen tries to write lyrics that can either relate to her specific target audience or interest them. She also goes through the problems that these young females may have. She talks in the language that young people of this generation use too, For example in hers single Smile;
'Whenever you see me you say that you want me back And I tell you it don't mean jack, no it don't mean jack'.
'Jack' is a word commonly used as a slang word for nothing. This was used to fit in more with today's generation.
Lily Allen has many fan based groups on social networking sites, this one on Facebook, Official Lily Allen Fan Group, has a large percentage of female fans, almost 3 times as many as male fans. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=88497275649&ref=search&sid=652705403.459956866..1
