AI Overview
Adele's hit song "Rolling in the Deep" was indeed inspired by a difficult breakup with an ex-boyfriend
. The song expresses the heartbreak and pain she experienced following the relationship's end. Adele herself described it as a "fuck you" to the ex who told her her life would be "boring and lonely and rubbish" without him.
While the ex's identity has not been officially confirmed by Adele, there has been speculation that the inspiration for the album, 21 (which includes "Rolling in the Deep"), may have been photographer Alex Sturrock. However, Adele has stated that she has since forgiven this person.
