Adele says she isn't as cocky as she has been perceived.
The Chasing Pavements singer claims she had to develop a "tough skin" to cope with criticism early in her career and says it made her appear more arrogant than she is.
She told celebrity gossip website Digital Spy: "I tried to develop a tough skin for a while and kept ignoring everything that was going on, which made me come across a bit confrontational and cocky I think.
"But in fact I'm the complete opposite, I couldn't be happier with what's happening, but I'm trying not to think about it in case I s**t myself."
The 20-year-old also revealed details of her next single, 'Hometown Glory', revealing she wrote it in protest to her mother's expectations.
She added: It's about my love for London, but it's not me being all 'Wahey, I'm a Londoner'. It's about cherishing where you're from and being comforted by where you're from because of all the memories you have there. It was a bit of a protest against my mum, because she wanted me to go away to university and I was like, 'No, I wanna stay!'
"She's over the moon now. She was like 'Get a job, get a job' for so long and I was like, 'No, I can't be bothered'. Then I went and got a record deal and all this happened and now I'm definitely allowed to stay in London."
