Adele, asked by The Sun newspaper said about the meaning of this song:
"It's simple, it is just about breaking up, and thats all. I very angry indeed. It's my most eloquent
song. It goes right to the point, not trying to be smart, I think that's why I like so much, because it is
honest, it has not glitter. "In an interview with Q magazine said: "The album is about my last relationship,
which was the first one which defines my kind of life. He was a little older than me and had many more
experiences ... Neither did nothing evil only it grew between us, but it was very hard. "Adele revealed that
her ex-boyfriend may not know that he was the inspiration for this and other tracks on the album
titled "21"."I have no idea if he has heard the album or if he is smart enough to connect him to think
he is. I'm not saying it's short, it is only towards the end, I do not think he felt I loved him enough to
write a record about him, but I did. "
