<P> Adele had said that she began writing it on her acoustic guitar in the wake of the break - up of her 18 - month relationship with the 30 - year - old man she thought she would marry . A few months after their split , he was engaged to someone else . `` We were so intense I thought we would get married . But that was something he never wanted ... So when I found out he does want that with someone else , it was just the horrible - est feeling ever . But after I wrote it , I felt more at peace . It set me free ... I did n't think it would resonate ... with the world ! I 'm never gon na write a song like that again . I think that 's the song I 'll be known for . '' She also said that `` I wrote that song on the end of my bed . I had a cold . I was waiting for my bath to run . I 'd found out that he 'd got engaged to someone else . '' </P>
