Adele’s music video for “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” is here, and it’s fabulous.
Adele opens this number alone, looking crossly at the camera and making us feel very guilty about whatever she’s accusing us of!
“Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” was written by Max Martin, and is one of the singles off the English singer’s third studio album, titled 25, which dropped last year.

The music video was released Sunday as part of the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. It was directed by Patrick Daughters, whose credits include Depeche Mode’s “Wrong” and “Personal Jesus,” and Interpol’s “No I in Threesome.”
The video is literally just Adele in a flowery dress on a black backdrop, but the way the shots are layered creates some really interesting effects, making her almost look like a raging fire as she spins around and the many transparent Adeles weave in and out of each other.
We see her morph into first two, then three, then… um, too many to count. But there can never be too many Adeles, right?!
Here are the lyrics for “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)”:
“Just the guitar, okay cool
This was all you, none of it me
You put your hands on, on my body and told me
Mmm
You told me you were ready
For the big one, for the big jump
I’d be your last love everlasting you and me
Mmm
That was what you told meI’m giving you up
I’ve forgiven it all
You set me freeSend my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We’ve gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain’t kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain’t kids no moreI was too strong you were trembling
You couldn’t handle the hot heat rising (rising)
Mmm
Baby I’m still rising
I was running, you were walking
You couldn’t keep up, you were falling down (down)
Mmm
Mmm there’s only one way downI’m giving you up
I’ve forgiven it all
You set me free, ohSend my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain’t kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We’ve gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain’t kids no moreIf you’re ready, if you’re ready
If you’re ready, I am ready
If you’re ready, if you’re ready
We both know we ain’t kids no more
No, we ain’t kids no moreI’m giving you up
I’ve forgiven it all
You set me freeSend my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We’ve gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain’t kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain’t kids no moreIf you’re ready, if you’re ready (Send my love to your new lover)
If you’re ready, I am ready (Treat her better)
We’ve gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain’t kids no more
If you’re ready, if you’re ready (Send my love to your new lover)
If you’re ready, I am ready (Treat her better)
We’ve gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain’t kids no more.”
