|content=[[File:ADELE - TAKE IT ALL.png|175px|right|link=]]'''"Take It All"''' is the seventh track off of [[Adele]]'s [[21]]. "Take It All", which incorporates a more soulful gospel sound, is accompanied by a choir and piano. Written with [[Eg White|Francis "Eg" White]], who worked with Adele on "[[Chasing Pavements (song)|Chasing Pavements]]", the song's lyrics focus on the protagonist's devotion to an [["Mr. 21"|unappreciative lover]]. Adele said that the music for the song just kind of came to her one day. Adele performed the song with "Rolling in the Deep", "Don't You Remember", and "Set Fire to the Rain" at Jools Holland on May 3, 2011. She appeared on The Today Show in 2011 to perform "Take It All" and "Rolling in the Deep" as part of their Toyota Summer Concert Series. It was also included in the setlist of the [[Adele Live]] tour.

|content=[[File:Adele - He Won't Go Lyrics.jpg|150px|right|link=]]'''"He Won't Go"''' (originally titled '''"What Is Love"''') is the sixth track off of Adele's chart-topping album, 21. It was produced by [[Rick Rubin]]. The song was originally intended to be the last track on the album instead of "[[Someone Like You (song)|Someone Like You]]". It was originally co-written by Adele and [[Paul Epworth]] under the title "What Is Love". Their version was originally intended to be put on the record, but Rick Rubin and Adele also did a version of the song that Paul liked better, and they ended up changing the name of the song to "He Won't Go" and releasing the version produced by Rick Rubin.
   
  +
This song was also the only song featured on 21 that was not included in the setlist for the [[Adele Live]] tour. Despite this, it was performed during select dates on the tour, according to some [[Daydreamers|fans]].
It was the first song written for 21 and upon entering into the studio together, Adele and Eg White had intended to write a song similar to "Chasing Pavements", and although Adele wasn't sure she wanted to write another "Chasing Pavements", the two managed to come up with "Take It All", a ballad that consisted only of piano and vocals and was quite different from "Chasing Pavements". Adele stated about the song that she wrote it about the man who inspired 21 and a few days after writing it, she performed it for him, and he broke up with her two weeks later, sparking the inspiration for the record.

The song was about two friends of Adele's that she had met after her first record, 19, was released. She had met them through her [[Louie|love of dogs]] and had originally met the two through work. The male was a heroin-addict and had been making his journey to rehab. The couple's bond had helped the male overcome his addiction, something that really touched Adele, who says that she is very proud of both of them, as the male has been "clean" for what is now over a year.

AboutAdele
ADELE
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988), better known simply as Adele, is an English singer-songwriter, musician and multi-instrumentalist. Adele was offered a recording contract from XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on MySpace in 2006. The next year she received the Brit Awards' "Critics' Choice" award and won the BBC Sound of 2008. Her debut album, 19, was released in 2008 to much commercial and critical success. It certified four times platinum in the UK, and double platinum in the US. Her career in the US was boosted by a Saturday Night Live appearance in late 2008. At the 2009 Grammy Awards, Adele received the awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Adele released her second album, 21, in early 2011. The album was well received critically and surpassed the success of her debut, earning the singer six Grammy Awards in 2012 including Album of the Year, equalling the record for most Grammy Awards won by a female artist in one night. The album has also led to her receiving numerous other awards, including two Brit Awards and three American Music Awards. The album has been certified 16 times platinum in the UK; in the US the album has held the top position longer than any other album since 1985, and is certified Diamond. As of right now, it is the fourth best-selling album of all-time in the UK. According to IFPI, the album has sold over 26 million copies worldwide.

AdeleMTV

The success of 21 earned Adele numerous mentions in the Guinness World Records. She is the first artist to sell more than 3 million copies of an album in a year in the UK. With her two albums and the first two singles from 21, "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You", she became the first living artist to achieve the feat of having two top-five hits in both the UK Official Singles Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously since the Beatles in 1964. With her third release from the album, "Set Fire to the Rain", which became her third number one single in the US, Adele became the first artist in history to lead the Billboard 200 concurrently with three Billboard Hot 100 number-ones. Two more less successful singles from 21 were released: "Rumour Has It" (which peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100) and "Turning Tables" (which peaked at number 63 on the Hot 100 due to not being released as an official single in the US like it was in the majority of Europe).

Adele is the first female in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have three singles in the top 10 at the same time as a lead artist, and the first female artist to have two albums in the top five of the Billboard 200 and two singles in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. 21 is the longest running number one album by a female solo artist on the UK and US Albums Chart. In 2011 and 2012, Billboard named Adele Artist of the Year. In 2012, Adele was listed at number five on VH1′s 100 Greatest Women In Music, and the American magazine Time named Adele one of the most influential people in the world. In 2012, Adele announced via her official website that she and her partner Simon were expecting a child, and on October 19, 2012, Adele gave birth to their son, Angelo. In 2013, she received an Oscar as well as the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for her song "Skyfall", written for the twenty-third James Bond film of the same name.

In spring of 2013, Adele was rumored to have entered back into the studio with past collaborator Paul Epworth and producers Kid Harpoon and James Ford to begin work on her third studio album. She reportedly has four songs finished and will continue to work on it in London before flying to Los Angeles to finish recording the album, with plans to release the album by mid-2014. In early 2014, Adele's publicist, Paul Moss, confirmed that Adele's third album would be released in 2014.
