In another exclusive preview for PopCulture.com, Adele told Winfrey there would be a “load of filthy jokes” during the special. “Being in LA as well where I sort of had to recover from everything that happened in my life the last few years. It was the perfect show,” Adele said of the concert featured in the special.

The special appropriately opens with “Hello,” which became an international hit in 2015. “I’m always going to start with ‘Hello,’ “Adele told Winfrey in another exclusive clip for PopCulture.com. “It’d be a bit weird if it was like, halfway through the set, you know? So yeah, I’m starting with it.” Adele wrote “Hello” with songwriter and producer Greg Kurstin, who also collaborated with Adele for “Easy on Me.”

As for “Skyfall,” the song was released in October 2012 and was written with Paul Epworth. Adele and Epworth shared an Oscar for the song, making it the first James Bond theme to win the Best Original Song award. Her performance at the 85th Academy Awards was the first time she sang it live. “Skyfall” was also Adele’s last single before she made fans wait three years until “Hello” was released.

In a Vogue interview, Adele revealed that she was “heavily pregnant” with her son Angelo when she recorded “Skyfall.” It was the only song she recorded during her pregnancy, which she said was the reason her “voice was a lot lower” when she recorded it. “He also hated it when I was singing the high notes, he’d sort of kick around inside of me,” she said of Angelo.
