Her first single off the album ,”Hello,” was debuted on Sunday in a commercial break during the X-Factor U.K. The surprise broke the internet. Fans have been waiting since 2011 for her next album after “21.” The smash hit earned her 7 Grammy awards. Adele says her last album was about “breaking-up” and “25” will be about “making-up.”

“25 is about getting to know who I’ve become without realizing,” she said. “And I’m sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened.”
