Adele is back, and she’s not going easy on us. On Thursday night she dropped her first single in almost six years, «Easy on Me,» and revealed the inspiration behind her lyrics – divorce and her pursuit of happiness. In various interviews, Adele dug into how her divorce from Simon Konecki and her relationship to their son, Angelo, influenced her new album. Almost three years after her divorce, she’s telling her side of the story to her son and all of us through her music. «I feel like this album is self-destruction, then self-reflection and then sort of self-redemption,» she told Vogue. «But I feel ready. I really want people to hear my side of the story this time.» So what’s behind her new single «Easy on Me»? When she left her marriage, her life «fell apart» too, and she’s asking people to be kind to her, as seen in some of the song’s lyrics. «It’s not like anyone’s having a go at me,» Adele told British Vogue.
