Adele teases new track and fans are very emotional

There aren't many artists who take a break from music for almost four years and expect their career to have survived.

There are even fewer who can announce their comeback in a 30 second television advert.

And it's only Adele who can sing a couple of lines of new music and make headlines around the world.

There's no name, no release date, no comment - but rumours suggest her third album will drop in November.

Newsbeat tweeted a video of the clip.

Read all the speculation about her new album - in one story.

It might only be a month to wait but from the reaction on social media, Adele fans might not be able to last that long.

Alex Goldschmidt tweeted: "I've listened to the snippet of Adele's new single more than I've listened to any ex's voicemails post-breakup."

Connor Franta tweeted: "That new Adele snippet revived a part of my soul I never knew was gone."

The lyrics she sang during The X Factor ad break were: "Hello/It's me/I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet/To go over everything.

"They say that time's supposed to heal ya/But I ain't done much healing..."

Spooky Bruja tweeted a picture of Adele holding her previous Grammy awards, with the caption: "Adele two minutes after her snippet was released."

Common White Girl tweeted: "Adele has that kind of music that makes you miss that person you made eye contact with on public transportation seven years ago."

Gnarls Barkley's Brian Burton, Swedish producer Max Martin and One Republic's Ryan Tedder are all rumoured to be working on the upcoming release.

One Republic tweeted: "Adele :)"
