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. |

− | 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. |
