Reading some of Adele’s lyrics back to her, Winfrey said “The the lyrics of this song are so brutally honest”.

In her new track, Adele sings, “I’m such a mess / The harder that I try I regress / I’m my own worst enemy / Right now I truly hate being me”.

When asked about the song’s interpretation, Adele responded “My friends always would say, ‘Hold on’ when I would feel like the lyrics in the verse. But it was just exhausting trying to keep going with it. It’s a process. You know, the process of a divorce, the process of being a single parent.

She added that the process of not seeing her child every single day was not the plan that she had when she became a mother. The process of arriving for yourself every day, turning up for yourself every single day, and still running a home, running a business said, Adele.

Adele married charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki in an intimate ceremony in 2016 after dating him for five years. The couple shared nine-year-old Angelo but got divorced in 2019.
