The video begins in the same Quebec farmhouse where "Hello" was filmed, but this time, Adele is packing up and leaving.
As Adele drives away in a truck filled with furniture, pages of sheet music fly out the window, symbolizing the release of her past stories and the chaotic freedom of a new beginning.
Adele told British Vogue that she wrote the song to explain to her son, when he's older, why she "voluntarily chose to dismantle his entire life in the pursuit of my own happiness" following her divorce from Simon Konecki.
