Adele is releasing her new album, 30, on November 19. But 24 hours ahead of its release, she debuted a previously unheard song, To Be Loved.
The British singer, 33, posted a video of herself singing, while sat relaxing on a sofa. The video is raw and emotional, and seems unedited and candid.
“To be loved and love at the highest count / Means to lose all the things I can’t live without,” Adele sings.
“Let it be known that I will choose to lose / It’s a sacrifice, but I can’t live a lie / Let it be known, let it be known that I tried.”
Fans have commented on the video, saying it left them "in tears" and "wrecked".
30 is set for release this week, six years since her last album 25 came out in 2015.
For the television special Adele One Night Only, she performed four songs from the new album – single Easy On Me, and three previously unheard tracks, I Drink Wine, Hold On and Love Is A Game.
During the show, Adele, born Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, chatted to Oprah Winfrey, discussing everything from her much talked about weight loss to struggles of divorce and becoming a single parent.
The record-breaking British singer revealed to the US talk show host that "terrifying anxiety attacks" after the divorce were what prompted her to lose more than 45 kilograms.
Filmed in Winfrey's rose garden, the two-hour special was interspersed with a pre-recorded performance by Adele at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. In March, Winfrey filmed her bombshell interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in a similar Montecito garden location.

What is an ETF?
An exchange traded fund is a type of investment fund that can be traded quickly and easily, just like stocks and shares. They come with no upfront costs aside from your brokerage's dealing charges and annual fees, which are far lower than on traditional mutual investment funds. Charges are as low as 0.03 per cent on one of the very cheapest (and most popular), Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, with the maximum around 0.75 per cent.
There is no fund manager deciding which stocks and other assets to invest in, instead they passively track their chosen index, country, region or commodity, regardless of whether it goes up or down.
The first ETF was launched as recently as 1993, but the sector boasted $5.78 billion in assets under management at the end of September as inflows hit record highs, according to the latest figures from ETFGI, a leading independent research and consultancy firm.
There are thousands to choose from, with the five largest providers BlackRock’s iShares, Vanguard, State Street Global Advisers, Deutsche Bank X-trackers and Invesco PowerShares.
While the best-known track major indices such as MSCI World, the S&P 500 and FTSE 100, you can also invest in specific countries or regions, large, medium or small companies, government bonds, gold, crude oil, cocoa, water, carbon, cattle, corn futures, currency shifts or even a stock market crash.
