After a 6-year hiatus, British singer-songwriter Adele has at last dropped "Easy On Me", the first single of her upcoming album titled 30 which is set to be released in November.

Read on to find out more about Adele's newest hit "Easy On Me"!

"Easy On Me" is a melodic piano ballad that reflects the end of a relationship and the start of new beginnings. The 5 1/2-minute music video starts with black and white frames of Adele packing her belongings and heading out of a country home that has a "Sold" sign in front of it. Dressed in a trench coat and shades, the singer gets into a car, inserts a cassette tape, and the melancholy music fades in.

As Adele drives away from the quaint countryside, pages of music sheets fly into the wind, probably signifying her shedding past versions of herself as an artist. The latter half of the music video shows an astounding transition – from black and white to beautiful Autumn colours.

"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 sings. For ardent fans of Adele, it doesn't take much to guess that "both" refers to her ex-husband Simon Konecki and her 9-year-old son Angelo.
