Adele My Little Love

In Adele’s cover story interview for the November 2021 issue of Vogue (US), interviewer Abby Aguirre previewed “My Little Love” and described it as having a “sexy ’70s groove” and “heavy strings”. Featured in the song are recorded conversations with Adele’s son Angelo in between verses, and a voicemail left for a friend as the outro.

She was inspired to incorporate voice notes by California rapper Tyler, the Creator and the British rapper Skepta, she explains. “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?”

“My Little Love” is about showing Angelo who his mother really is: a layered and complicated woman with an identity outside of their relationship, who’s struggled and cried and hurt.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My little love
I see your eyes widen like an ocean
When you look at me so full of my emotions
I’m findin’ it hard to be here sincerely
I know you feel lost, it’s my fault completely

[Bridge: Adele & Angelo Adkins]
Tell me you love me
I love you a million percent

[Verse 2]
I don’t recognise myself in the coldness of the daylight
So I ain’t surprised you can read through all of my lies
I feel so bad to be here when I’m so guilty
I’m so far gone and you’re the only one who can save me

[Bridge: Angelo Adkins & Adele]
Oi, I feel like you don’t love me
Why do you feel like that?
Do you like me?
You know mummy doesn’t like anyone else like I like you, right?

[Chorus]
I’m holdin’ on (Barely)
Mama’s got a lot to learn (It’s heavy)
I’m holdin’ on (Catch me)
Mama’s got a lot to learn (Teach me)

[Bridge: Adele & Angelo Adkins]
Mummy’s been having a lot of big feelings recently
Like how?
Just, like, hang on, my fingers are trapped
Like, um, I feel a bit confused
Why?
I don’t know
And I feel like I don’t really know what I’m doing
Oh, at all?
At all
And that would make me go…

[Verse 3]
My little love
Tell me, do you feel the way my past aches?
When you lay on me, can you hear the way my heart breaks?
I wanted you to have everything I never had
I’m so sorry if what I’ve done makes you feel sad

[Bridge: Adele & Angelo Adkins]
I love your dad ’cause he gave you to me
You’re half me and you’re half daddy
Oh

[Chorus]
I’m holdin’ on (Barely)
Mama’s got a lot to learn (It’s heavy)
I’m holdin’ on (Catch me)
Mama’s got a lot to learn (Teach me)

[Outro]
I’m having a bad day, I’m having a very anxious day
I feel very paranoid, I feel very stressed
Um, I have a hangover, which never helps, but
I feel like today is the first day since I left him that I feel lonely
And I never feel lonely, I love being on my own
I always preferred being on my own than being with people
And I feel like maybe I’ve been, like, overcompensating
And being out and stuff like that to keep my mind off of him
And I feel like today, I’m home and I wanna be at home
I just wanna watch TV and curl up in a ball and
Be in my sweats and stuff like that, but I just feel really lonely
I feel a bit frightened that I might feel like this a lot
