Chasing Pavements

The artist releases her single, Chasing Pavements, from her album, 19.

That song is about should I give up or should I just keep trying to run after you when there’s nothing there? I was only with him for four months but when I signed my record deal I had to write an album, as I hardly had any songs, so I wrote about him.

It’s me saying, ‘Get the f— out of my house instead of me begging him to come back. It’s my reaction to being told my life was going be boring and lonely and rubbish, and that I was a weak person if I didn’t stay in a relationship. I wrote it as a sort of ‘F–k you.

adeleAdele appears on the cover of People to discuss losing her dad, heartbreak, and losing her voice. On her first real relationship:

It was my first grown-up, intense relationship. But things fell apart after more than a year, and though he didn’t cheat the breakup was still crushing. We fell out of love. It was more devastating than actually having something to blame it on. I locked myself in my house for nine months drinking four bottles of wine a night. That was probably the lowest point of my life.
