She was born in North England

Her full name is Adele Laurie Blue Adkins

She was born on May 5,1988

It was a very heartbreaking for her to write and so many people are able to relate to it is the best way to recover.

"It's going to take ten years to recover, I think from the way I feel about my last relationship. It was the biggest deal in my entire life to date. He made me totally hungry. He was older, he was successful in his own right, whereas my boyfriends before were my age and not really doing much. And he got me interested in film and literature and food and wine and travelling and politics and history, and those were things I was never, ever interested in. I was interested in going clubbing and getting drunk."

Adele wanted a more rhythmic song than usual so Fraser T Smith helped her programmed a tom-tom drum loop which helped her have a jump start for the song.

The language is simple but has its meaning towards relationships. The song doesn't have big words that are hard to understand or anything that is unusual. The song is more on the literal side, throughout the song, there are many metaphors and repetitions. The song portrays the author to be in a bad relationship where she wants to get out.

The song was released on 4 July 2011 and maybe written around that time. Adele uses a lot of imagery in her songs and this song is not an exception as well. The phrase “I set fire to the rain” is more of an abstract imagery. Reading the song as a whole would feel like this story happened around her early days as a singer or maybe around the time that she wrote this song.

The phrase “I set fire fire to the rain”, “That I never knew, never knew”, “They were never true, never true”, “You would always win, always win”, “Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!”, “Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!”. All these phrases are repeatedly seen across the song, all these phrases have one thing in common, someone who is screaming or having a mental breakdown would say something like this. The overall tone of the poem is about love, breakups, sadness, depression, harmful breakup, it is basically a sad song. In the first stanza where is says "I let it fall, my heart, and as it fell you rose to claim it, it was dark and I was over, until you kissed my lips and you saved me." The whole stanza shows loneliness until someone came into her life.

The theme of the song is about breakups and saying goodbye to that person she used to love but hard to let go since there is already an emotional bond between both of them. She wants to get over a bad relationship but she ends up getting into another bad one. Some things are too good to be true. The lines "But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew. All the things you'd say they were never true, never true, and the games you play you would always win, always win." It just transitions into a scene where Adele tells us that her relationship was just a lie until that point. In the song, there is a phrase that is being repeated multiple times in the chorus, "But there's a side to you That I never knew, never knew. All the things you'd say They were never true, never true, And the games you play You would always win, always win." This chorus can be seen a lot of time throughout the song and it is saying that he was never true to her and he was lying. There is also imagery in the song, the phrases like dark, weak, crying, rain, screaming, died, etc. shows the image of sadness and dark and this also shows what state of place she is in in the relationship. Last but not least, hyperbole can be seen throughout the song, the phrases like "and I threw us into the flames" and "“Feel you here forever”, are exaggerating the fact that you can't actually throw someone into the fire nor you can actually feel someone forever so this is hyperbole, she exaggerated about feeling his partner forever but eventually something will happen to both of them. They are actually saying that she doesn't want the breakup to end in both of them sad instead, she wants it to end in anger so she doesn't need to feel sad after "having the long run" in the relationship.

Adele does not consider herself as religious but it gave her comfort when both her grandparents passed away.

Her accomplishment includes Billboard Music Awards, Academy Award Winner and the Grammy Awards

She rose to fame around the year 2000. Her debut album 19 has been certified 7 times platinum and 2 times in the U.S. Her debut album 21 surpassed the first album sales. In 2015 her album 25 became the best selling album of the year, it broke the first week's selling record. Since then she is one of the best selling record artists in the world, her songs are known far and wide.

She is conservative when it comes to politics, she was very angry over the government using her money when she got her tax bill for her album 19, she was ready to “buy a gun and randomly open fire”. Quote: "I’m mortified to have to pay 50 percent! [While] I use the NHS (National Health Service), I can’t use public transport any more. Trains are always late, most state schools are shit, and I’ve gotta give you, like, four million quid – are you having a laugh? When I got my tax bill in from [the album] 19, I was ready to go and buy a gun and randomly open fire."

The phrase “I set fire to the rain”, “That I never knew, never knew”, “They were never true, never true”, “You would always win, always win”, “Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!”, “Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!”. All these phrases are repeatedly seen across the song, all these phrases have one thing in common, someone who is screaming or having a mental breakdown would say something like this. In the first stanza, it says that "let it fall, my heart, as it fall you rose to claim it." Your heart can't literally be falling and someone catching it, so it is figurative imagery. The imagery in the song is dark and sadness.

In the song, Adele uses fire and rain to show 2 different things because fire can't be lit under a rain. We can see this throughout the song in many first lines of the stanzas in the song.

Adele uses the phrase "set fire to the rain" to express that she has the courage to do what she needs to break out of her toxic relationship. The fire signifies the anger and the hate in her and the rain symbolises her tears and heartache that she has in the relationship. I think that she wants to turn her tears into a fire, she doesn't want to be sad when she has her break up, she wants to be angry.
