Lily Allen doubts her own abilities

Lily Allen has revealed that she lacks confidence in her abilities as a singer-songwriter.

Despite the success of her debut album Alright, Still and its singles 'Smile' and 'LDN', the star admitted that she struggles to see the value of her own work.

"I left school at 15. I'm not a genius songwriter," Lily told Rolling Stone magazine. "I don't think I'm really good at anything."

Allen recently completed work on her second album, which is titled Stuck On The Naughty Step. It is expected to be released later this year.

Lily has vowed to start working as a scout for a record label if the album turns out to be a flop.
