Top 5 Adele songs one must listen to.
Rolling In The Deep
With over 2.6 billion views on the music video, Rolling In The Deep is one of the most loved songs among fans. While the song talks about heartbreak and betrayal faced in a failed relationship, the spirit of the song and lyrics turns out to be an inspiration for the fans to move on. To date, the song is appreciated for its emotion and vocals.
Skyfall

Skyfall is the theme song for the James Bond film Skyfall, which was inspired by the franchise's legacy. While Adele was initially unsure about writing the Skyfall theme song, thinking her personal style wouldn’t fit, the singer agreed later after reading the script. The song turned out to be one of the most famous songs and won the Oscar Award for Best Original Song.
Set Fire to the Rain
As the title suggests, the song was inspired by an intense yet toxic relationship. The lyrics talk about the singer's struggle to let go after the betrayal with the metaphor Set Fire to the Rain, something that seems impossible. The song soon reached the number one position on many charts globally. The singer also sang it live at the Weekends with Adele in 2023, twelve years after its release.
Send My Love (To Your New Lover)

While most of Adele's songs are known for their emotional struggles and heartbreak, this one brings a fresh energy with its upbeat vibe. The singer got the idea for the song after hearing Taylor Swift’s I Knew You Were Trouble while having lunch with Ryan Tedder. The singer later reached out to the producer of Taylor's song, Max Martin, and decided to collaborate with him. The result led to the Send My Love song.
Easy On Me
The title of the song came from the constant reminder of her friends to be easy on herself after the divorce in 2021. In an interview with Elle, Adele shared that she came up with the verse while in the shower and wrote the chorus later that same day. The song became a hit after its release, taking the number one position on the US Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles (OCC).
Adele started singing at four and has been active in the music industry since 2006. The singer has released four studio albums to date. Her last album, titled 30, was released in 2021.
