Lily Allen’s Saturday Night Live set looked familiar.

The singer, 40, took the stage at Studio 8H in New York City on Saturday, Dec. 13, to perform her songs “Madeline” and “Sleepwalking” from her latest album, West End Girl.

The set for Allen’s performance had an uncanny resemblance to the Brooklyn, N.Y., home she shared with ex David Harbour, as featured in a 2023 Architecture Digest video.

Items from the stage that were similar to what the former couple had in their home include the decorative wallpaper, pink silk bedsheets, green chair and palm tree lamp.

The pair discussed many of their interior design choices in the house tour video, with Harbour, 50, giving multiple shout-outs to the elaborate wallpaper designed by Zuber that featured colorful floral designs.

“The wallpaper is by a company named Zuber,” the Stranger Things actor said at the time. “They are unbelievable. I try to stay away from their shop because you can go in and flip through their books, and I just want every single wallpaper.”

Several people in the comments section of a YouTube video of Allen’s SNL performance of “Sleepwalking” drew attention to the set design. One called the wallpaper “iconic,” while another noted, “Using the same wallpaper David was obsessing over on their open door for the scenery is so diabolical.”

PEOPLE confirmed in February that Allen and Harbour had separated after four years of marriage. “Her marriage has been crumbling, and they have split,” an insider told PEOPLE exclusively at the time.

Allen and Harbour listed their townhouse for $8 million following their split, according to property records.

The two songs that the “Smile” singer performed on the SNL episode — which was hosted by Josh O’Connor — detail a tumultuous romantic relationship. “Madeline” is about a narrator confronting a woman named Madeline who slept with her husband, and “Sleepwalking” is about frustrations over a past relationship.

Allen’s performance of “Madeline” on the sketch comedy show featured a cameo from Dakota Johnson as the titular character. The musical guest performed to the side of the stage as the Materialists actress sat hidden behind a sheer curtain and read messages while in character.

Near the end of the song, Johnson, 36, stepped out from behind the curtain to reveal herself to the audience and embraced Allen.

Allen announced earlier this month that she will bring West End Girl on tour in North America. She is expected to perform the album in its entirety.
