Just when the world thought Adele’s songs couldn’t break their hearts anymore, she proves them wrong. In the third track from her new album “30," she has included a voice note of herself talking to her son and trying to explain the pain she felt at the time of her divorce to ex-husband Simon Konecki.

“My Little Love” which is about her and her 9-year-old son Angelo includes a voice note where Adele is trying to explain her feelings to her little boy.

In the first voice note, Adele looks for some assurance as she asks her son “Tell me you love me,” to which Angelo sweetly responds with “I love you a million percent.”

In the second voice note, the conversation goes:

Angelo: “Oi, I feel like you don’t love me”
Adele: “Why do you feel likе that?”
Angelo: “Do you like-like me?”
Adele: “You know mommy doesn’t like anyone else like I like you, right?”

In a third voice note, Adele is trying her best to explain her pain and everything that she felt to Angelo.

Adele: “Mummy’s been having a lot of big feelings recently”
Angelo: “Like how?”
Adele: “Just like, mummy, I’m, I’m, the feeling that I have, like, hm, I feel a bit confused”
Angelo: “Why?”
Adele: “I don’t know. And I feel like I don’t really know what I’m doing”
Angelo: “Oh, at all?”
Adele: “At all”

Later on, the “Hello” singer explains to her little Angelo, “I love your dad ’cause he gave you to me. You’re half me and you’re half Daddy,” to which Angelo says, “Oh.”

In a recent interview with Vogue, the 33-year-old singer revealed that she recorded those voice notes at the suggestion of her therapist to help discuss the divorce.

“I thought it might be a nice touch, seeing as everyone’s been at my door for the last 10 years, as a fan, to be like, ‘Would you like to come in?’” she said.

During the same interview, she also opened up about her decision to divorce Konecki. "I was just going through the motions and I wasn't happy," she said.

She further clarified, "Neither of us did anything wrong. Neither of us hurt each other or anything like that. It was just: I want my son to see me really love, and be loved. It's really important to me."

"If I can reach the reason why I left, which was the pursuit of my own happiness, even though it made Angelo really unhappy — if I can find that happiness and he sees me in that happiness, then maybe I'll be able to forgive myself for it," she concluded.

The “Rolling In The Deep” singer announced her separation from Konecki in April 2019 and filed for divorce in September of the same year. The case was finalized in March 2021.
