Hello 是Adele在2015年发行的单曲,一周内创造了流行乐的神话,仅在美国单曲下载超过110万次,但很多人并不知道她背后的故事,大多数认为“Hello”是Adele 写给她前男友的,但事实上,这首歌所写的的是歌者的一种思乡情绪,以及自己对在英格兰伤害过人们的一种歉意….
“Hello” is about Adele desire to come home and to apologise to the people she hurt, including herself. Adele was asked if it was also apologising to her ex boyfriend in the song, she immediately said, “Oh, god no.” and also she revealed that “Hello” does not point to a specific person.
