The singer took to [Instagram](https://instagram.com/lionelrichie/) to post a split screen from each music video with the caption, “HELLO @adele is it me you’re looking for…” Richie also shared the “Hello”/”Hello” mash-up that’s been making the rounds. Taking a clip from Adele’s new music video, the clip sees the British singer calling and then hanging up on Richie. Watch it below. Fans, including [celebs](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/23/adele-hello-celebrity-twitter-reactions) like Lena Dunham and Katy Perry, went wild for Adele’s first new piece of music in years. The song — and the album itself, which Adele calls a “make-up record” — sees the singer calling out to an old lover and apologizing for leaving him behind. Apparently, Adele is more apt to tell Richie “Goodbye” than “Hello.” _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/25/hello-adele-lionel-richie-mashup) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/sites/all/themes/ew%5Fcom/img/ew-mobile-logo-full.png) Lionel Richie Gets on on the Adele 'Hello' Mash-up Fun ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4086450/lionel-richie-adele-hello/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4086450/lionel-richie-adele-hello/"},"headline":"Lionel Richie Gets in on the Adele 'Hello' Mash-up Fun on Instagram","datePublished":"2015-10-25T21:34:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:26:18.901Z","description":"“HELLO @adele is it me you’re looking for…”","url":"https://time.com/4086450/lionel-richie-adele-hello/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nick Romano / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4086450/lionel-richie-adele-hello/","name":"Lionel Richie Gets in on the Adele 'Hello' Mash-up Fun on Instagram"}}]}] ```
