Adele will attend this year's Golden Globes, making her first public appearance since she gave birth to a baby boy last October, The Associated Press reports.

Adele and the Making of '21'

An executive producer for the Globes confirmed the appearance, but Adele won't just be going for the show: her James Bond theme "Skyfall" is in the running for Best Original Song , competing against Taylor Swift's "Safe & Sound" from The Hunger Games, Jon Bon Jovi's "Not Running Anymore" from Stand Up Guys, Keith Urban's "For You" from Act of Valor and "Suddenly" from Les Misérables.

Adele has kept a relatively low profile since she and boyfriend Simon Konecki announced the pregnancy in June, though her breakout 2011 album 21 has continued to dominate the charts. The LP sold 4.41 million copiesin 2012 and became the first album in the SoundScan era to top Billboard's year-end sales list two years in a row.

“(We're Not) The Jet Set”

George Jones and Tammy Wynette | 1973

George Jones and Tammy Wynette were still married when they recorded the tongue-in-cheek "(We're Not) The Jet Set." The lyrics, written by Nashville songwriter Bobby Braddock, who also penned Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" and Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today," make fun of the good life by declaring, "We're not the Jet Set/We're the old Chevrolet set." Braddock recalled that while writing the song, he needed the name of a city that evened out the rhyme he had with "Riviera" and "Missourah." “I got out a Rand McNally atlas," he said. "In the first part are the maps. The last part is an alphabetical listing of cities. I wanted a rustic, small-time sound. I went to the listing for Missouri. And I found 'Festus.' I loved the sound of it."
