"Plain" is a song by New Zealand singer-songwriter Benee featuring British singer Lily Allen and American rapper Flo Milli, released through Republic Records on 27 October 2020 as the third single from her debut studio album Hey U X (2020).
[1] On the motive behind the track, Benee told NME:[2] I wanted to make it a song someone could listen to when they find out their ex is with someone new.
[4] Chris DeVille of Stereogum drew comparison between the song's "foggy, blippy, chillwave-adjacent mood" and that of "Clairo with a trap beat".
He noted that "the sonic soup is a great environment for Benee, even if it somewhat blurs her voice together with Allen's and therefore obscures the flex of featuring her alt-pop forebear on a song.
She praised Allen's featured verse, describing it as "a beautifully melancholic one" and that by "coupl[ing it] with Benee's already captivating style of vocal delivery, bringing Lily into a song like this feels like a natural flex.
