I believe this was the first #1 song to feature only piano and vocals.
Very nice.

This was terrific and better than the somewhat overrated RITD. I preferred her live version where her voice doesn't break to the one that made it to the album.

This is in contention for my favourite song of all time. It's so good, and so raw. I think I prefer the Live At The Royal Albert Hall version to the studio version on 21.

I'll definitely be in the minority here, but this song doesn't really do anything for me. Then again, I'm not an Adele fan. She's very talented and I respect her as an artist, I just wish I liked her music better.
I liked "Rolling in the Deep" for a hot minute, but it burnt out on me extremely quickly. "Chasing Pavements" is the only song of her's that's a little nostalgic for me. I don't listen to that one often, but I do like it.

Incredible lyrics. The live version (slower, where she doesn't use her higher register) on 21 is better than the studio version. Her performance of it at The Brit Awards really kicked the album campaign into overdrive.

Adele in herself is amazing! All 3 of her #1 singles are probably some of my favorite songs ever, but I will say that it gets annoying when I go to AllState, and EVERY. TIME. SOMEONE HAS TO PLAY THIS ON THE PIANO!!!

She had to be in such a vulnerable place to write these lyrics and put them out there. Excellent song.

Definitely my favourite Adele song, The piano melody of this song is so beautiful, and the way she pours her heart into the song is amazing. The final chorus after the bridge is everything >
Some of my favourite lines: "Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you" "Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
Such a sad song, but so beautiful.
And the black and white video of her just walking around alone, reminiscing is perfect.

Adore this. I'm not the biggest fan of piano only ballads, but this is outstanding.

This is really pretty, but I never saw it as the masterpiece most people pegged it as.
That, combined with the ridiculous amount of airplay it received, completely killed/buried it for me.
I'd be happy if I never heard it again.

Definitely a good song, but also completely overrated. I prefer Turning Tables to it.

Such a beautiful song. As others have said, I prefer the live version as well. Her performance at the Royal Albert Hall remains one of my all-time favorites.

I still like it, but I think RITD and SFTTR are better.

The Brits performance is still the best. That's when I knew this album would be massive everywhere. It's just electric.

I don't really care for the album version, but there was a rock remix that my local station played that got me into it

This hit me hard back in 2012 as a teenager experiencing my first heartbreak, but after years and years of overplay, I never listen to it anymore. Or much Adele in general, for that matter.
