The story behind the song

"Someone Like You" captures the raw emotion of a relationship's end, specifically when an ex-partner has moved on. Written by Adele and Dan Wilson for her album 21, the song was a way for Adele to process her feelings and find peace with the two years she spent with him. She described feeling miserable and lonely while writing it, a contrast to the defiance in some of her other songs, and feared seeing her ex settled and happy while she remained alone. Accompanied only by a piano, the song embodies a deep vulnerability and the struggle to come to terms with a past love.
