By now, you've probably listened to Adele's latest hit, Hello. And then listened to it again. And again.
The record-breaking ballad racked in more than a million downloads in the first week of its October release, and it seems like everyone's relating to its notes on heartbreak and regret.
And the hype makes sense — music-induced sadness has actually been shown to have positive effects on our brain. One study found that sad tunes spur imagination and regulate emotion.
Musicians across the world have tried to emulate Hello's goosebump-inducing high notes, but one cover is a cut above the rest.
A teenage girl in Korea posted her rendition on Youtube this week, and it's already gotten more than two million views. Someone give this girl a record deal: She's somehow managed to do Adele's emotionally-jammed lyrics justice, despite still being in high school.
So grab the tissues and welcome the weekend with this incredible cover. And don't worry if your tear-ducts start acting up around 2:25 mark. You're certainly not alone.
