On November 22, Sade released the music video for her long-awaited track “Young Lion,” marking her first new music in six years.

At 65, the iconic “Smooth Operator” singer offers a rare and personal glimpse into her family life, especially her relationship with her transgender son, Izaak Adu.

The four-minute video is a beautiful, nostalgic journey, opening with sweeping shots of a quiet road.

As the video unfolds, fans are treated to a montage of intimate moments spanning nearly three decades, from baby Izaak in Sade’s arms to their car trips together.

The poignant footage ends with an emotional scene on the beach—first showing a younger Izaak running toward his mother, then transitioning to a more recent clip of the 28-year-old sharing a warm embrace with her.

The lyrics are a raw apology from Sade to her son, singing, “Young man/ It’s been so heavy for you/ You must have felt so alone,” capturing the weight of Izaak’s struggles.

“The anguish and pain/ I should’ve known/ With such a heavy burden/ You had to carry all on your own.”

This video is not just a music release—it’s a deep, personal message of love and regret.
