All the hidden meanings behind Adele's new single Easy On Me revealed

Adele's long-awaited single Easy On Me has just dropped.

The songstress, 33, has made a huge return to the spotlight today as she released her first new song in six years.

Throughout her time away from the limelight, Adele got divorced from her ex-husband Simon Konecki.

In her new album titled 30, Adele has shared that she talks about the "turbulent" time in her life as a way to explain her marriage split to their son Angelo.

It appears Easy On Me explains exactly how she felt during the difficult period, and it's more emotional than fans ever expected.

She sings: "And there is hope in these waters, but I can't bring myself to swim when I am drowning."

Adele hints at the main reason that led her to divorce Simon, singing that the pair were "stuck" in their ways, which made the singer "give up".

"There ain't no room for things to change / When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways / You can't deny how hard I have tried / I changed who I was to put you both first / But now I give up," she continues to sing.

The chorus goes: "Go easy on me, baby / I was still a child / Didn't get the chance to / Feel the world around me / Had no time to choose what I chose to do / So go easy on me."

On Twitter, one fan revealed the hard hitting lyrics were making them "tear up", writing: "ADELE THIS MASTERPIECE. As someone with divorced parents this made me tear up so much."

Another fan shared: "I'll be the first to admit I cried in the car this morning listening to Adele's new song. Go EASY ON ME Adele! I'm only a boy."

A third penned: "Adele still got it. She always did. Always will."

Speaking about her new single on Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James, the star said: "I was making decisions in my life which have been well documented over the last few years."

She added: "It was sort of that thing of initiating a discussion - not in the case of my son's dad - or a massive bloody fight, which I definitely started some fights post my relationship."

Adele concluded: "Normally I'm not very confrontational, but it was like, 'Hang on a minute, bare with me while I try and find my feet in this situation'."

The rest of her new album is set to be released on November 19.

Telling fans about the emotional trauma that went into it, she said: "It was my ride or die throughout the most turbulent period of my life. When I was writing it, it was my friend who came over with a bottle of wine a takeaway to cheer me up. My wise friend who always gives the best advice.

"Not to forget the one who's wild and says, "It's your Saturn return babes f**k it, you only live once". The friend who'd stay up all night and just hold my hand while I'd sob relentlessly not knowing why. The get up and go friend who would pick me up and take me somewhere I said I didn't want to go but just wanted to get me out the house for some vitamin D.

"That friend who snuck in and left a magazine with a face mask and some bath salts to make me feel loved while inadvertently reminding me not only what month it actually was but that I should probably exercise some self-care!"

"And then that friend who no matter what, checked in on me even though I'd stopped checking in with them because I'd become so consumed by my own grief. I've painstakingly rebuilt my house and my heart since then and this album narrates it," she added.

Adele signed off her lengthy post with: "Home is where the heart is x"
