In an interview, Adele expressed her initial reservations prior to meeting Paul Epworth due to their divergent musical styles; she characterised their collaboration as "a match made in heaven".[16] She also credited Epworth for her increased vocal confidence, stating, "He brought a lot out of me. He brought my voice out as well—there's notes that I hit in that song ("Rolling in the Deep") that I never even knew I could hit."[16] According to reviewer Bill Lamb, "Rolling in the Deep" features "martial beats, pounding piano keys and chanting backing singers".[17] Adele's vocals have been described as having a "hint of Wanda Jackson's dirty-blues growl".[18] According to Nadine Cheung from AOL Radio Blog the song is "sung from the perspective of a scorned lover, who is finally able to see the light, but despite regretful sentiments, reconciliation is not an option here."[19] "Rolling in the Deep" is written in the key of C minor (B minor for live performances), in common time with a tempo of 105 beats per minute. The accompaniment uses open fifths, in a progression of C5(i5)–G5(v5)–B♭5(VII5)–G5(v5)–B♭5(VII5) and two Progressions of Progression #1: A♭(VI)-B♭(VII)-Gm(v)-A♭(VI)-B♭(VII)-A♭(VI)-B♭(VII)-Gm(v)-G(V), Progression #2: Cm(i)-B♭(VII)-A♭Maj7(VI M7)-B♭(VII). Adele's voice spans from B♭3 to D5.[20] Musically, Simon Reynolds of The New York Times described the song as "1960s rhythm-and-blues tightened up with modern production" and vocals rooted in soul.[21] Rolling Stone also noted its "[buildup] to a gospel fever".[22]

The song was reportedly inspired by a Nashville-schooled US tour bus driver,[23] and composed by Epworth and Adele in a single afternoon following Adele's breakup with her boyfriend.[24] It was "her reaction to, 'being told that my life was going to be boring and lonely and rubbish, and that I was a weak person if I didn't stay in the relationship. I was very insulted, and wrote that as a sort of "fuck you".'"[25]

## Reception

[edit]

### Critical response

[edit]

The song received universally rave reviews by critics. Lamb gave it a score of 5 out of 5, saying: "'Rolling in the Deep' [...] wastes no time in presenting the stunning bluesy authority of her voice....Here is a voice that can raise chills up the spine, and, when she is in a mood like this, the sense of foreboding will rivet your attention."[17] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard magazine complimented the song's "sweeping chorus" and felt that the song "places a similar emphasis on its refrain but its multilayered instrumentation gives the English singer's wail a previously unheard depth".[26] Lipshutz said, "Adele's noticeable leap in vocal confidence highlights the track. She gracefully lingers on the last line of the verses and attacks the sorrowful chorus' first words, 'We could have had it all,' head on."[26] Rolling Stone magazine's Barry Walters stated, "'Rolling in the Deep' finds the 22-year-old in bluesy gospel mode, sounding powerful but not particularly pop. Starting with a stroked acoustic guitar, this breakup-mourning track builds to a stomping, hand-clapping climax that affirms the British knack for rejiggering the sound of American roots music."[27]

The writers of Rolling Stone placed "Rolling in the Deep" at number one on their list of "50 Best Singles of 2011".[28] Claire Suddath of Time magazine named "Rolling in the Deep" one of the Top 10 Songs of 2011.[29] MTV chose the song as their "Song of the Year".[30] The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop annual critics' poll ranked "Rolling in the Deep" as the top single of 2011. In 2019, Rolling Stone,[31] Consequence of Sound,[32] and Pitchfork[33] ranked the song as the 3rd, 8th, and 171st best song of the 2010s, respectively. Time named it as one of the 10 best songs of the 2010s,[34] and Billboard chose the song as one of the 100 "Songs That Defined the Decade".[35] In 2021, Parade ranked the song number one on their list of the 25 greatest Adele songs,[36] and in 2022, American Songwriter ranked the song number eight on their list of the 10 greatest Adele songs.[37]

"Rolling in the Deep" became Adele's label XL Recordings' best-selling single, overtaking M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" released in 2008 which until 2011 held the record.[47] The song became also the longest-charting release in Finland, peaking at number one and charting for 50 weeks.[48][49]

In 2013, as a celebration of the chart's 55th anniversary, Billboard counted down the 100 biggest Hot 100 hits ever, and the song was ranked at number 31.[50] In 2018, it was placed at number 35.[51]

## Music video

[edit]

The music video for "Rolling in the Deep," directed by Sam Brown, premiered on Channel 4 on 3 December 2010.[52][53] The video begins in an abandoned house, where Adele is sitting in a chair singing. During the video, the scenes show hundreds of glasses filled with water that vibrate to the beat of a drum. Jennifer White, who also choreographed the sequence, dances in a room kicking up white flour.[54] The drummer plays his drums under the stairs, and china is thrown breaking on a piece of suspended plywood at the bottom of a staircase. There is a white model of a city which is set on fire by five bursting light bulbs at the end of the song. The music video received critical acclaim, with critics praising its dark tone and simplicity.

On 20 July 2011, the music video was nominated for seven MTV Video Music Awards, including Video of the Year, Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Best Direction, and won three for Best Editing, Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction.[11] The video won the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video on 12 February 2012.

## Media usage

[edit]

"Rolling in the Deep" first gained attention when it was used in a trailer for the film I Am Number Four and in the film itself.[77] It has since been featured in several television series such as in 90210's third season,[78] in Doctor Who's sixth series premiere,[79] in One Tree Hill's eighth season,[80] in Gossip Girl's fourth-season finale,[81] The Secret Life of the American Teenager's fourth season.[82] and in the Scandal's Pilot promo. "Rolling in the Deep" was used as the theme song for E4's reality series Made in Chelsea[83] and appeared in So You Think You Can Dance's eighth season during contestant Mitchell Kelly's solo performance.[77] In Renny Harlin's 2016 film Skiptrace, a drunk Jackie Chan sang "Rolling in the Deep" at the tune of local instruments in a Mongolian village only to be taken by surprise by how the song was already popular among the non-English speaking locals, when they started to sing with him.[84]

The instrumental of the song was used in Apple Inc's marketing video for the iPhone 4S.[85] It was also featured in CBC's intro to Game 1 of the hockey 2011 Stanley Cup Finals between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins.[86] while the song's instrumentals were played heavily in promos during the 2011 NBA draft.[77][87] The song was played in the background during the parade of athletes at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[88]

In early 2016, US businessman and media personality Donald Trump began using "Rolling in the Deep" as warm-up music at rallies during his campaign to become that year's Republican Party candidate for President of the United States, prompting Adele to issue a statement distancing herself from Trump. A spokesperson for the singer confirmed that "Adele has not given permission for her music to be used for any political campaigning".[89] The song is one of two by Adele that Trump used as part of his campaign, the other being "Skyfall".[90] Trump continued to use the songs despite Adele's objections.[91] Commentators, including David Lister of The Independent, have noted that United States Copyright law does not prevent politicians from using pieces of music at their rallies, providing the venue has a public performance licence.[92]

In 2014, Aretha Franklin covered the song on her Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics album.[270] The performance may be termed a mash-up or medley as it includes the chorus from "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" written by singer-songwriters Ashford & Simpson.

It was released 29 September 2014 as the collection's lead single. This version peaked at number one on the US dance chart, giving Aretha Franklin her sixth number one on the chart. It also debuted at number 47 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Franklin thus became the first female, and fourth artist overall (following Lil Wayne, Jay-Z and James Brown), to place 100 songs on the charts (with her first entry on the chart being "Today I Sing the Blues" in 1960). This version of "Rolling in the Deep" entitled "Rolling in the Deep (The Aretha Version)" was Franklin's final single to be released before her retirement in 2017, and her death the following year.[271]

### Greta Van Fleet version

[edit]

In January 2018, American rock band Greta Van Fleet released a cover of "Rolling in the Deep" with a partnership with Spotify after being invited to record at Spotify Studios in New York City.[275][276][277]

The song was released along with an acoustic version of "Black Smoke Rising" on digital media on 24 January 2018.[276] The song did not chart but the band will play it at live performances occasionally. [278][279]

### Other covers

[edit]

The Piano Guys adapted the melody for piano and cello in a mashup with the orchestral suite "Jupiter" by Gustav Holst.[280] Japanese rock duo Glim Spanky covered the song for their 2014 EP Shōsō.[281]

The song became popular and has been covered by various artists including David Cook, Ariana Grande,[282] Haley Reinhart, Nicole Scherzinger,[283][284][285] The Overtones[286] and rapper Lil Wayne.[287] In January 2011, Jamie xx remixed the song, on top of which Childish Gambino later added a rap verse.[288] In February 2011, Mike Posner released a cover of the song. Idolator described his version as "a very cool electronic piece that still somehow manages to retain the heartbroken feel of Adele's original tune."[289] The same month, Scottish band Kassidy also covered the song.[288] John Legend uploaded an R&B a cappella version of the song in April 2011 on SoundCloud.[290] "Rolling in the Deep" was then covered by Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff of Glee for the second season episode "Prom Queen". The single charted at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at 49 on the UK Singles Chart and was later released on the album Glee: The Music, Volume 6. Black Stone Cherry have covered the song live on several occasions, and it was covered by Celine Dion on her Las Vegas Show.

On 14 July 2011, Patti Smith covered "Rolling in the Deep" during a performance at the Castle Clinton.[291] In July 2011, PS22 Chorus sang the song at the Newport Folk Festival.[288] On October 2011, Misha B performed a "show-stopping"[292] cover of the track on the eighth season of The X Factor, regarded by the Daily Telegraph as one of the highlights of the series.[293] The Telegraph noted that Misha B delivered "impressive soulful vocals and a quirky rapping style" injecting it with a "fresh UK urban twist".[294] Mexican sibling trio Vázquez Sounds released a cover version which quickly became popular on YouTube. It was later released as a single in Mexico and was certified platinum by AMPROFON.[295] On 12 June 2012, Celine Dion covered the song at her Vegas show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, before she performed the song, she told the crowd, "I love Adele so much. She's amazing."[296] A cover by metalcore band Amyst was played to Adele by Jonathan Ross on his TV show in September 2011, to a poor reception from Adele, who along with Ross dismissed it as "screamo".[297]

In May 2015, Aryan Simhadri uploaded a video of his cover of the song to his YouTube channel.[298] The cover surged in popularity in 2023 and 2024 due to Simhadri's leading role as Grover Underwood in the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians often paired with other clips of the show's young cast members in the form of an Internet meme.[299]

On 9 March 2021, La Poem performed the song in the 7th episode of Phantom Singer All Stars.[300]
