Adele, who seemed excited as she appeared on the social media platform, live from her California home yesterday, said before she played the 45-second clip of her new song that she, "may get in trouble for playing it."

The pop icon, who had her blonde locks straight, nodded her head to the powerful ballad as she played the first verse. Over 100,000 fans logged on to listen, with thousands responding with heart emojis and sending her messages.  

Even her famous fans, such as Alicia Keys, sent her messages on the social media platform as she shared the snippet of her song, which had originally been teased via Twitter last week.

Adele also gave an exclusive interview to Vogue, where she spoke about her forthcoming album, and why she wrote it for her son, "I wanted to explain to him through this record, when he's in his twenties or thirties, who I am and why I voluntarily chose to dismantle his entire life in the pursuit of my own happiness."

She married Simon Konecki, a charity CEO in 2018, after dating him for numerous years and having a son together, Angelo, 8.

While the Rolling in the Deep singer also went on to explain the lyrics of her new song, Easy on Me: "It's not like anyone's having a go at me, but it's like, I left the marriage. Be kind to me as well.

"It was the first song I wrote for the album and then I didn't write anything else for six months after because I was like, 'OK, well, I've said it all."

Adele also shared her weight loss secrets this week, after shedding 7 stone and slammed revenge body rumours.
