Someone Like You

Recorded in 2010 at Harmony Studios in West Hollywood, California, during the 21 sessions with Adele and Dan Wilson. Wilson played piano, and Philip Allen handled engineering. Released in 2011 as the second single from 21, it became Adele's first UK number one after her Brit Awards performance. The song became the emotional center of the album and one of her signature recordings. It became one of the defining ballads of the 2010s and one of the best-selling singles of its era. The track has remained a staple of karaoke, covers, and Adele's broader cultural legacy.
