Adele had considered not releasing her new album.
The 33-year-old singer's long-awaited fourth album is out now in New Zealand but she has admitted to previously having doubts about whether to make the songs available to the public.
The Grammy-winning star - whose new record was inspired by her divorce from ex-husband Simon Konecki - said: "There were moments when I was writing these songs, and even when I was mixing them and stuff like that, where I was like, 'Maybe I don't need to put this album out'. Like maybe I should write another."
