In typical Adele fashion, she waved it off. During an iHeartRadio interview, she was asked about the ex referred to in this song. Though the song was a collaboration, Adele has gone on record saying that it feels very personal and draws directly from a past breakup.

Adele reached out to the duo after she heard Taylor Swift's "Trouble" and wondered, "‘WHO wrote that?!’” The song was a collaboration among Adele and the Swedish song-writers Max Martin and Shellback (Karl Johan Schuster), according to Us Weekly. It's not a lamenting power ballad it's a pop anthem, full of vocal fanfare and declarations of freedom. After the record-breaking "Hello" and "When We Were Young," this latest single provides a welcome bit of levity. She is a consistent show-stopper, as oxymoronic as that sounds, and nearly every song on that album could have been a single. Adele's fans are some of the most devoted, and with good reason.
