"Easy on Me" received positive reviews from music critics, who discussed it in relation to Adele's previous music and praised her vocals and the lyrics. At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, the song won Best Pop Solo Performance from its four nominations. It was nominated for several other awards and won the 2022 Brit Award for Song of the Year. "Easy on Me" reached number one on the charts in 28 other territories. It became Adele's longest-running chart topper in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Xavier Dolan directed the music video for "Easy on Me", which was released on 15 October 2021. It references several previous Adele videos and depicts her moving out of the same house where the "Hello" (2015) music video was filmed. She performed the song at the 23rd NRJ Music Awards, on her television specials, and at the concert residency Weekends with Adele. Artists including Kanye West, Chloe Bailey, and Keith Urban sang cover versions of it.
Background
editGreg Kurstin produced and co-wrote three tracks on Adele's third studio album, 25 (2015),[1] which included the song "Hello". It was released as the lead single from the album and reached number one in 36 countries, and its music video broke the Vevo record for most single-day views.[2][3] She kept a low profile after completing the associated concert tour, Adele Live 2016, in 2017.[4] Adele had begun working on the follow-up album by the following year.[5] She filed for divorce from her husband, Simon Konecki, in September 2019,[6] which inspired the album. After experiencing anxiety, Adele undertook therapy sessions and mended her estranged relationship with her father.[7] The divorce's effect on her son plagued Adele during the following years. She decided to have regular conversations with him, which she recorded following advice from her therapist.[7][8] These conversations inspired Adele's return to the studio, and the album took shape as a body of work that would explain to her son why she left his father.[7]
Adele wrote "Easy on Me" with its producer, Kurstin.[9] She conceived the song's verses while taking a shower. Adele's friends would tell her to "go easy on yourself, don't beat yourself up too much about your decisions". The advice resonated with her, and she decided that she had to be more gentle with herself.[10] Adele's friends were unimpressed by an initial snippet of it but she claimed that they appreciated her patience.[11] Three songs were in contention for release as the lead single from 30 (2021). She eventually chose "Easy on Me" because it had a "soaring chorus" and "just felt like a me song"; she saw it as the right song for her return after the hiatus.[12] Adele wanted to avoid releasing something that would propel her to more stardom: "There isn't a bombastic 'Hello,' But I don't want another song like that. That song catapulted me in fame to another level that I don't want to happen again."[7]
Composition and lyrics
edit"Easy on Me" is 3 minutes and 44 seconds long.[13] Kurstin produced the song and engineered it with Alex Pasco and Julian Burg. Kurstin plays bass guitar, kick drum, and piano. Tom Elmhirst helmed the song's mixing at Electric Lady Studios in New York, and Randy Merrill handled mastering at Sterling Sound in New Jersey.[9]
"Easy on Me" is a torch song and ballad[14] which places emphasis on Adele's vocals over piano instrumentation.[15] The song opens with a gentle piano, which intensifies as it progresses, leading into the vocals.[16][17] Adele's voice mimics this according to The Guardian's Alexis Petridis, as it "sounds initially wounded, then soars".[17] The song almost completely eschews the use of percussion instruments,[14][18] but a bass drum and bass guitar are played during its latter half.[19] In the chorus, Adele delivers the song title in elongated vocal runs and stretches the "e" sound through eight different musical notes.[19] Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times described her performance as "soaring yet slightly crinkly around the edges".[20]
In the lyrics, Adele addresses her divorce and asks for forgiveness and understanding from her son,[21][22] ex-husband,[19][23] and herself.[24] She tries to explain to her son why she chose to disassemble the stable life he had during her marriage.[25] Adele acknowledges that she still has a lot of self-discovery to do and compares herself to a child: "I was still a child / Didn't get the chance to / Feel the world around me."[22] According to Slant Magazine's Alexa Camp, the lyric reflects her "grappling with a form of arrested development".[26] In the song's bridge, Adele asserts that the divorce was well-intentioned and in the hopes of a better future.[15] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph described the song as "effectively, a huge, abject, shame- and excuse-filled apology".[19]
Release
editOn 1 October 2021, the number "30" was projected on several buildings and landmarks around the world.[27] Three days later, Adele updated her social media accounts for the first time in months.[28] On 5 October, Adele hinted at the song and its music video by posting a teaser on the accounts. The black-and-white clip played an instrumental track and depicted Adele putting a cassette into the tape deck of a truck.[29][30][31] On 9 October, Adele shared a 40-second preview of it via Instagram Live.[32] "Easy on Me" was released on 15 October and marked her first single in nearly five years.[27][33] Sony Music sent it for radio airplay in Italy the same day.[34]
In the United States, Columbia Records released "Easy on Me" to adult contemporary and triple A stations on 18 October, and contemporary hit radio the following day.[35][36][37] The song was issued as a CD single in Germany on 22 October.[38] Columbia released a cassette single on 5 November 2021.[39] Adele recorded a duet version of it with Chris Stapleton, which was sent to country radio by In2une Nashville on 19 November.[a][41] With 5.4 million audience impressions,[b] this version became Adele's first entry on the Country Airplay chart at number 25. Billboard's Gary Trust wrote that it made "unprecedented airplay chart history".[43] In October 2021, Ocado noted a 26 percent increase in tissue sales in the United Kingdom and connected this to the release of "Easy on Me", along with the cool weather: "We also suspect Adele's new song about heartbreak may have also had something to do with it."[44]

"Easy on Me" received critical acclaim from music critics.[48][49] Some commented on the production. McCormick thought the song was a daring return for Adele and exemplified the sheer crux of "what music is, and why it means so much to us".[19] Fiona Sturges of i believed it is wholehearted, anthemic, and places emphasis on Adele's voice, but it has a "slightly over-produced sheen" which reduces its sadness.[46] Likewise, The Times' Will Hodgkinson thought "Easy on Me" was fine and seasoned but "a sheen of thoroughly American professionalism" prevented its emotional resonance.[47]
Critics discussed "Easy on Me" in relation to Adele's catalogue. Some thought it was a typical Adele song.[c] The Evening Standard's Jochan Embley believed it did not compare to the sadness of "Someone Like You" (2011) or the emotion of "Hello" but was equally ardent.[45] Alexandra Pollard of The Independent thought it did not have a catchy melody like "Hello" but was just as sad and pithy and more intricate.[25] Petridis stated that it would not "stop the listener in their tracks" like "Someone Like You" but was relatable and more memorable than some tracks on 25.[17] Billboard's Jason Lipshutz likened several elements of "Easy on Me" to prior Adele songs but thought it was distinguished by its different lyrical theme.[52]
Adele's vocals were the subject of commentary. Embley believed they were some of her best: "She's so elegantly controlled, so piercingly poignant".[45] NME's Nick Levine thought the song delivered to the high expectations due to her prowess in communicating unvarnished emotion through her vocals and lyricism. He added that Adele sounds undoubtedly and magnificently like herself but "richer and more confident".[15] Cat Zhang of Pitchfork praised her delivery and said it is distinctive at a time when under-singing is popular. She added that despite dealing with a new breakup, Adele provides the same contentment.[50] Writing for Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield thought she sang with more panache and delicacy but did not eschew "the primal firepower" that famed her.[53] PopMatters's Peter Piatkowski stated that with her usual pristine performance, she exudes the immense sorrow she experiences and molds her great and pliable voice.[54]
Some discussed the lyrics. Chris Willman of Variety believed that the theme of asking for forgiveness strayed from Adele's previous releases, portraying her as "the possible offendee, not the offended".[55] Writing for The Line of Best Fit, David Cobbald thought it was "the most 'hunny'" song on 30. He noted its metaphors about water and opined it conveys a maturity and headway from the time of 25.[56] Piatkowski believed that the lyrics were foreseeably intense and portrayed "genuine and elegiac" pain.[54] Levine opined the lyrics will relate with "anyone going through a quarter-life crisis, a mid-life crisis, or just a crisis of a hangover" and were likely to make them cry easily.[15]
Accolades
edit"Easy on Me" has been included in rankings of Adele's discography. Rolling Stone named it her 10th-best song in 2021.[57] Far Out's Tyler Golsen and Jamie Kahn included it at number 17 in 2022.[58] That same year, American Songwriter's Tina Benitez-Eves declared "Easy on Me" Adele's best song.[59] It was included on critical lists of the best songs of 2021, by Billboard at number 14,[60] The Forty-Five and NME at number 26,[61][62] and Consequence at number 27.[63] The song also appeared in an unranked list by Vogue.[64]
"Easy on Me" received several awards and nominations. It won the Brit Award for Song of the Year at the 2022 ceremony.[65] That year, "Easy on Me" also received the Gaffa Award for Foreign Song of the Year,[66] the Juno Award for Video of the Year,[67] and the New Music Award for Top 40/CHR Song of the Year.[68] At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards in 2023, the song won Best Pop Solo Performance and was nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Music Video.[69] Other nominations include The Song of 2021 and The Music Video of 2021 at the 47th People's Choice Awards,[70] Favourite Pop Song and Favourite Music Video at the American Music Awards of 2022,[71] Song of the Year and Best Lyrics at the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards,[72] the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically,[73] and the MTV Video Music Award for Song of the Year.[74]

In the United Kingdom, "Easy on Me" debuted at number one on the Official Singles Chart on the chart issued for 28 October 2021. With 217,300 units, it marked the highest first week sales for any song since 2017.[78] "Easy on Me" spent eight nonconsecutive weeks at number one, becoming her longest-running number one single in the UK.[90][91] The British Phonographic Industry certified it 3× Platinum in June 2023.[92] "Easy on Me" debuted atop Australia's ARIA Singles Chart, becoming her third song to reach the position.[93] It spent four weeks at the summit and received a 6× Platinum certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association.[94][95] In Canada, "Easy on Me" spent eight weeks at number one on the Canadian Hot 100.[96] Music Canada certified it 3× Platinum in January 2022.[97] Elsewhere, "Easy on Me" reached number one in Austria,[98] Belgium,[99] Costa Rica,[100] Croatia,[101] Czech Republic,[102] Denmark,[103] Germany,[104] Iceland,[105] Ireland,[106] Israel,[107] Italy,[108] Lithuania,[109] Malaysia,[110] the Netherlands,[111] New Zealand,[112] Norway,[113] Singapore,[114] Slovakia,[115] South Africa,[116] Sweden,[117] and Switzerland.[118] The song was certified 2× Diamond in Brazil,[119] Diamond in France,[120] 3× Platinum in Portugal and Switzerland,[121][122] 2× Platinum in Denmark,[123] Italy,[124] Mexico,[125] New Zealand,[126] Poland,[127] and Sweden,[128] Platinum in Belgium,[129] Germany,[130] Spain,[119] and Greece,[131] and Gold in Austria.[132]
Music video
editXavier Dolan, who had previously directed the music video for "Hello", also directed the one for "Easy on Me". The latter was filmed in the same house as "Hello", at the Chemin Jordan and Domaine Dumont Chapelle Ste-Agnès in Sutton, Quebec, on 15 and 16 September 2021.[133][134][135] The video starts black-and-white before changing to full colour midway. According to Camp, it "picks up where 'Hello' left off".[26] Adele gazes across the empty house and outside the window before packing up her belongings, putting on sunglasses, and moving out.[135][136] She talks with someone on a mobile phone[137][138] and inserts a cassette into the tape deck of a furniture truck, which plays "Easy on Me".[46][139] Adele mourns the end of her own marriage while driving away and spectating a separate couple's engagement celebration as several pages of sheet music fly out of the car's windows.[46][135][140]
The video was released on 15 October 2021 at midnight UK time to 200,000 viewers during the premiere. It reached 12 million views within 12 hours and 90 million within six days of release.[136][140] Several critics thought it referenced other Adele music videos, including "Hello", "Rolling in the Deep" (2010), and "Chasing Pavements" (2008).[140][138][137] Parade's Rose Maura Lorre described it as a sequel to "Hello" and compared a chair in it to the one in the "Rolling in the Deep" music video.[138] Sophia McFarland of The Spokesman-Review believed it was "a cinematic masterpiece in itself".[140] BBC News' Mark Savage opined that the transition from black and white to colours represented "the sound of a woman who has dismantled her entire world, realising that she needn't feel guilty for putting herself first".[141] A video of bloopers from the production of the music video was released on 4 November 2021.[139]
Live performances and cover versions
editAdele performed "Easy on Me" live for the first time during her CBS special Adele One Night Only (2021).[142] She reprised the song at the 23rd NRJ Music Awards on 20 November 2021.[143] Adele hit an incorrect note during her first attempt at singing it for her ITV special An Audience with Adele (2021) and restarted the performance: "I'm shitting myself."[144] She performed "Easy on Me" during her British Summer Time concerts on 1 and 2 July 2022.[145] Adele included the song in the set list for Weekends with Adele, her 2022–2023 concert residency.[146][147] She wore a full-length black gown and sang afront a coral green backdrop. Reviewing the show on 18 November 2022, The New York Times' Lindsay Zoladz believed Adele seemed nervous and "relied a bit too heavily on encouraging the crowd to sing her lyrics", and Harper's Bazaar's Bianca Betancourt thought she "appeared visibly emotional" before it.[148][149][150]
Several artists recorded cover versions of "Easy on Me". Kanye West and the Sunday Service Choir performed a cover with changed lyrics, as a tribute to Virgil Abloh after he died on 28 November 2021.[151][152] Chloe Bailey uploaded a cover of the song on 9 December 2021, which included whistle tones and vocal runs; Uproxx's Wongo Okon commented that she sang the challenging song without any problems.[153][154] On 4 January 2022, Travis Barker released a cover, on which he played the drums[155][156] and guitar[157] and transformed it into a rock ballad.[158] The Vitamin String Quartet, whose violin player Leah Zeger had accompanied Adele during the One Night Only performance, released a version of "Easy on Me" with string instruments on 4 March 2022.[159] Keith Urban introduced his acoustic guitar cover of the song during a March 2022 show: "I would like to make a special dedication tonight, to somebody I just absolutely adore as a performer, as a songwriter, a trailblazer, [...] We love you Adele, oh yes we do."[160][161] In July 2023, 13-year-old musician Nandi Bushell shared her cover of it; she noted in the caption that it was her first video singing and playing piano simultaneously.[162][163][164] "Easy on Me" has also been covered by contestants on The Voice.[165][166][167]
