Hit Songwriter Amy Allen Talks ‘Espresso,’ ‘Greedy,’ ‘Feather’ and Her Other Smashes This Year
Amy Allen has co-written four smash hits this year — for Sabrina Carpenter, Tate McRae and Justin Timberlake — and is about to drop her debut album.
In the six years since she moved to Los Angeles, Allen, 32, also has had a hand in hits for Harry Styles (“Adore You,” “Matilda”), Halsey (“Without Me,” “Be Kind”), Selena Gomez (“Back to You”), Olivia Rodrigo (“Run for the Hills”), Rosé (“On the Ground”), Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, Justin Bieber and many others. They’re also remarkably versatile: Some are ballads based around acoustic guitar, some revolve around a bassline (her first instrument); some seem driven by a melody that was probably sung into a phone (she holds up her iPhone and scrolls through countless voice notes, most without titles). Allen celebrating her 2024 hit singles at Warner Chappell Music’s officers in Los Angeles earlier this year, with (from left) manager/A&R Gabz Landman, co-chairs Carianne Marshall and Guy Moot, president Ryan Press and other staffers.
