Adele in 2021

Adele began working on her fourth studio album by 2018. [1] She filed for divorce from her husband, Simon Konecki, in September 2019, [2] which inspired the album. After experiencing anxiety, Adele undertook therapy sessions and mended her estranged relationship with her father. [3] The divorce's effect on her seven-year-old son plagued Adele during the following years. She decided to have regular conversations with him, which she recorded following advice from her therapist. [3] [4] These inspired Adele's return to the studio and the album took shape as a body of work that would explain to her son why she left his father. [3]

Adele wrote "My Little Love" with Greg Kurstin, who had produced three songs for her third studio album, 25 (2015) –"Hello", "Million Years Ago", and "Water Under the Bridge". [5] [6] During one of Adele's conversations with her son, he said: "I can't see you". She conceived "My Little Love" in a studio the following day and decided to incorporate voice notes of the conversation in the song, inspired by Tyler, the Creator and Skepta. Adele believed it "might be a nice touch" and give fans a window into her personal life. [3] [lower-alpha 1] She recalled that creating the song cleared up some of the emotional chaos that was obstructing her ability to express her feelings. [10] Listening to it would calm Adele's anxiety about whether she answered her son's questions appropriately. [11]

Though Adele considered that her son might dislike "My Little Love" in the future, she thought it was an important song and decided to put it on the album: "He'll probably go through stages of hating it when he's a teenager… But it was an important part of the puzzle I was trying to figure out of my life—not the album—so I had to include it." [12] She released "Easy on Me" as the lead single from the album, entitled 30 , on 14 October 2021. [13] Adele announced the tracklist on 1 November 2021, which included "My Little Love" as the third track. [14] The song became available for digital download on 30, which was released on 19 November. [15]

Composition

"My Little Love" is 6 minutes and 29 seconds long. [15] Kurstin produced the song and engineered it with Julian Burg at No Expectations Studios in Los Angeles. Kurstin played bass, mellotron, piano, and steel guitar, and Chris Dave played drums and percussion. David Campbell arranged and conducted the strings, which were recorded at the EastWood Scoring Stage in Burbank, California. Tom Elmhirst mixed the song at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, and Randy Merrill mastered it at Sterling Sound in Edgewater, New Jersey. [5]

"My Little Love" is a jazz, [16] [17] R&B, [16] [18] and soul [19] song which incorporates voice notes of Adele's conversations with her son. [20] It is influenced by gospel music and 1970s soul. [21] [22] The song employs an arpeggiated late-night bar piano chord progression and a lightly oscillating funk bassline. [18] [23] According to Variety 's Chris Willman, it has a groove that begins with a restrained electric piano and concludes in "swirls of orchestration". [24] Adele delivers vocals in a low register, which Annabel Nugent of The Independent considered analogous to "smoke pluming from a lit cigarette perched on an ashtray". [25] Several critics likened "My Little Love" to the work of Marvin Gaye; [lower-alpha 2] Vogue 's Abby Aguirre highlighted its elements—"sexy '70s groove, heavy strings, heavier lyrics", [3] and NPR's Nate Chinen believed the similarity was in "the stylistic legacy of the song—down to the gently tripping melisma that concludes each line in the verse". [26] AllMusic's Neil Z. Yeung believed the "smoky R&B production" recalls "early-2000s Alicia Keys", and Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times described it as "a lush soul jam with echoes of classic Isaac Hayes". [28] [19]

The lyrics of "My Little Love" are written from the perspective of a mother pleading for understanding and forgiveness from her child. [29] Adele discusses her divorce and admits her guilt about the way it has changed her son's life, [30] addressing herself as "mama" [31] and him as "my little love". [32] The voice notes from her son include him asking several questions. [29] During the first bridge, Adele asks him to say he loves her, to which he replies: "I love you a million percent". This alternates in the second bridge, when he confesses that he "feel[s] like you don't love me" and Adele replies that she loves him more than anyone else. [16] [33] At 1:54, she tells him that she has "been having a lot of big feelings recently"; she elaborates that she feels confused and lost after he implores her to explain what she means. She assures him that she still loves his father because he would not exist without the latter. [32] [34] The song concludes with a voicemail Adele recorded for a friend, in which she confesses to having a hangover and experiencing anxiety, paranoia, and loneliness: "I feel like today is the first day since I left him that I feel lonely. And I never feel lonely [...] I feel a bit frightened that I might feel like this a lot." [16] [35]

Critical reception

Critics praised "My Little Love" as raw, honest, and touching. [lower-alpha 3] The A.V. Club 's Gabrielle Sanchez observed a "push and pull [...] of a mother needing her son for support while feeling guilty about wearing these emotions on her sleeve for him to see", [31] and PopMatters 's Peter Piatkowski thought "the discomfort grows as the emotional baggage depicted in the lyrics threaten to collapse whatever dam is holding Adele in". [22]

Some reviewers felt the inclusion of the voice notes on "My Little Love" was excessive. [lower-alpha 4] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph wondered "whether we really needed to hear home recordings of Adele laying all her woes on her own child or blubbering into her phone during bouts of insecurity"; [27] Consequence 's Ilana Kaplan found them unnecessary but indicative of Adele's state of mind. [21] Reviewers also commented on Adele's expression of loneliness and vulnerability in the closing voicemail. [lower-alpha 5] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian described it as "bold no-holds barred wound-showing" akin to John Lennon's song "Mother" (1970). [39] Pitchfork 's Jill Mapes believed it was "Adele's version of rock bottom", [38] and DIY 's Emma Swann called it a "gut-wrenching climax". [40]

Critics considered "My Little Love" one of the most emotional songs on 30 [lower-alpha 6] and thought it displayed more vulnerability than Adele's previous work. [lower-alpha 7] Writing for Slant Magazine , Eric Mason found Adele's affirmation of her love for her son brought forth a more honest sense of sadness than her previous heartbreak-themed songs. [44] Exclaim! 's Kyle Mullin said the song exemplified her thematic evolution in her releases of the preceding decade. [43]

David Cobbald of The Line of Best Fit thought "My Little Love" was the album's best showcase of Adele's creativity and skill. [45] Ranking the song 11th among the album tracks, Jason Lipshutz of Billboard stated that "Adele has never been bolder in her song construction". [46] Rolling Stone placed it at number 24 in a 2021 ranking of Adele's discography. [23]
