This is such an anthem but it's just as 'break-up' as all of the 21 singles. She said 25 is a make-up album and tbh, I'm mad she rejected Sia's Alive cause not only would that be refreshing coming from her but it also fits the description she gave for the album all too well. I guess that doesn't matter though since this is still an A+ song and I have no doubt the album will be too.

This song features one of her best vocals on record, if not the best. Excellent.

My favorite interpretation of the song is that it's not actually addressed to an ex, but to her younger self. Admittedly, it doesn't jibe with the video, but the song itself is vague enough to be about anyone, and some lyrics really jump out in that context, e.g. "I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be / When we were younger and free." And it would also fit in within this supposed "make-up" album.

I don't think this was posted before, but the track was co-written with Greg Kurstin and he produced it. Really? Damnnnnn, talk about feather in the cap.

This song is a perfect lead single. It's basically a "Rolling In The Deep"/"Someone Like You"/"Set Fire To The Rain" hybrid, which I think was a smart move by her and her team.

I like this a lot. I still like "Rolling In the Deep" more, but I think this might be better than both "Someone Like You" and "Set Fire to the Rain" for me.

Fabulous. She's going to crash through the biggest album opening for a female, as predicted years ago.

The fact that people are even comparing this in quality to the 21 trifecta is terribly impressive. Reactions seem fantastic across the board. This rollout seems to be going according to plan.

Floored by the song after the 2nd listen. Also, just because Adele said this was a make-up record, that doesn't necessarily mean it's "happy". This song is about trying to make up with an ex.... The fact that she can't is what makes it so real relatable. These lyrics are literally what I am going through right now-- trying to call and say sorry and keep a friendship alive with an ex I broke up with who has seemed to move on and doesn't want the friendship I do. I cried the first time I listened to this song, and cried harder the second time I listened to it. Flawless.
Thank you for saving me Adele, I knew I could count on you !!!

Someone Like You and Rolling In The Deep are her magnum opus. This is amazing, incredible, vocal performance beyond what I could have ever expected (not talking the chorus. The honesty and detail in her vocal during the verses), but..it's on the level of Turning Tables/Set Fire To The Rain. Which is a phenomenal level to be on, because everyone else's singleography highlights don't even compare to that. Does it top Someone Like You and Rolling In The Deep? No. I was kind of hoping it would, but it doesn't. Phenomenal song though and will undoubtedly be #1 on my playlist. Like who hasn't experienced this? Yep was thinking it's in the same 'league' as SFTR but def. not in the league of RITD or SLY. Just 'something' missing. Not saying it won't grow on me (doubtful...cause I keep trying and trying to 'get' it). Just sounds that they blatantly played it safe and didn't raise the bar or at least come up w/ something as instant and good as SLY or RITD. I'm not at all asking for those songs part 2 but just something that has the same instant, jaw dropping effect. Majority seem to love it. Dunno out that many people if it's cause it's new Adele and it's a good 'enough' song or if it's 100% the song. Meaning if another well known singer or an unknown singer put this out would people love it as much? This will obviously smash in/around like Born This Way..prob. even more. It's just if she keeps coming out w/ the same kind of predictable first single dunno if the hype will still be there by the time '30' comes out. Doesn't that happen w/ every single singer (Alanis, Shania, Norah Jones etc..). I like Adele but hoping for a hotter second single.

This song definitely hit me hard on first listen. Very relatable to what's going on with my life now.
I'm impressed with the huge predictions for sales just for today. This is on its way to #1
