Speaking at the Nationwide Mercury Music awards, Adele denied that the song was about homosexuality, saying that her inspiration came from an ex-boyfriend.
"Some weirdo on the Net wrote that 'Chasing Pavements' was about being gay, which isn't true at all," she said.
"Because of that some radio stations in the States wouldn't play it. The guy wrote it on Urban Dictionary, which I've used for years, and 'chasing pavements' was never on there before."
The soul singer added that her ex was "a boy who went bad, but he's good now... we've made up".
