Adele’s new hit song “Hello” has become much more than just a comforting breakup anthem for women wounded by past relationships.

According to a new study, the track has inspired 64 percent of women to contact their exes in an attempt to make amends and get back together.

The song’s haunting music video, which broke Taylor Swift’s previous Vevo viewing record by receiving 27.7 million views in 24 hours, sees the 27-year-old singer staring sadly out a window and checking her flip phone, while having flashbacks of her smiling ex during their relationship.

But Adele’s latest tune, which opens with the lyrics “Hello, it’s me, I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet, To go over everything,” isn’t having the same effect on men.

The study shows that only 17 percent of men surveyed felt compelled to reach out to their exes after listening to “Hello.”

The results were compiled by the dating website WhatsYourPrice.com, which polled 41,000 single men and women.

According to the same study, women are more open to discussing what went wrong in their relationships, while the majority of men prefer to simply move on with their lives.

Brandon Wade, the founder and CEO of the website, says, “Women are known to base things on feelings and emotion, and the instant gratification of texting an ex may seem fulfilling in the moment.”

He adds, “While men may be inspired by Adele’s song, they may not want to reopen old wounds by contacting an ex-girlfriend.”

While there’s been much speculation as to the ex Adele is addressing in the song, the very private singer has not given any evidence to identify the past lover.

Recently, a woman pranked her ex-boyfriend by texting him the lyrics from “Hello,” making him think that she wanted to get back together.

Since then, it’s become a Twitter trend to prank pop-culturally oblivious exes.

Often, it leads to some confusion. Or, in some cases, a lot of confusion. And it’s only a little awkward when the ex catches on quick.

歌手阿黛尔的全新热门歌曲

《Hello》对于在以往恋情中受伤的女性而言已经不单单是一首治愈的分手歌曲

了。一项新的研究表明，这首歌曲已经激励了64%的女性与前任联系，试图弥补过错重归于好。

中，27岁的歌手悲伤地凝视窗外，看她的翻盖手机，同时倒叙她与阳光前任的恋情。这首阿黛尔的最新歌曲开篇歌词是：“你好，是我，时过境迁数年后，你会否想久别重逢，再温往事”。不过这首歌对男性并没有产生和女性相同的效果。研究表明，只有17%的男性听到《Hello》这首歌后，会忍不住想联系前任。这项研究结果是约会网站WhatsYourPrice.com根据4.1万单身男女投票后编写的。

该研究还发现，女性更乐于谈论为什么她们恋情失败，而大多数男性则更喜欢忘掉过去重新开始。

布兰登· 韦德是网站创始人和首席执行官，他说：“众所周知，女性是感性

的，给前任发送短信的即时满足感似乎在那一刻让她们感觉很好。

他还提到：“男性或许情绪会受到阿黛尔歌曲的影响，但他们可能并不想联络前女友揭开旧伤疤。”

虽然关于歌中阿黛尔提到的前任有很多猜测，但注重隐私的歌手并未提供旧爱的信息。

最近，有位女士发送《Hello》的歌词短信戏弄她的前男友，让他误以为想重修旧好。从那以后，发歌词戏弄对流行文化一无所知的前任成了推特新风潮。这种行为通常会引发对方的困惑，有时候甚至把对方搞蒙了。就算这一恶作剧被前任快速识破，也不过是有点尴尬而已。
