By February 2012, "Rolling in the Deep" had sold over 8.7 million copies in the United States, making it the best-selling digital song by a female artist in the US,[5] the second-best-selling digital song in the US and Adele's best-selling single outside her native country, topping her previous best-selling "Chasing Pavements". Worldwide, it was the fifth-best-selling digital single of 2011 with sales of 8.2 million copies.[6] As of 2019, with sales of over 20.6 million copies worldwide, "Rolling in the Deep" is one of the best-selling digital singles of all-time.[7][8][9] The song spent 65 weeks on the chart, making the song at that time the fourth-most weeks spent on the chart, tying the place with Jewel with her double single "Foolish Games"/"You Were Meant for Me".

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]

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]

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.

The music video received critical acclaim, with critics praising its dark tone and simplicity.

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]
