Adele, the internet’s bezzie mate, is back! And if you weren’t heartbroken or wallowing in your feelings before “Easy On Me” came out, you’ll likely be dumping someone, anyone, before the day is out just to feel something.
What is the song about though? Well hun, here to explain it is the woman, the icon, the heartbreak-nurse-in-chief, the nation’s BFF Adele on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Greg James.
Adele explains that it was the first song that she wrote from the album and she started working on it in 2019 after a four or five year hiatus from the studio.
“I was making decisions in my life which have been well documented over the last few years,” she explains, referring to her divorce.
“I definitely started some fights post my relationship with my son’s dad with other people. Normally I’m very not confrontational but you can just initiate something and be like, ‘Well hang on a minute, go easy on me.’ Just like, bear with me while I try and find my feet in a situation.”
Despite the song being about a difficult time in Adele’s life, it also brought positivity for her.
“There’s something that’s really hopeful about it as well as sad,” she says. “I obviously bawled my eyes out when I was writing it and when I was singing it for the recording. There’s an element of hope in it which in turn gave me hope because I was at my wit’s end in the beginning of 2019.”
Excuse me while I bawl my eyes out too.
