Template:Infobox Song
"Hometown Glory" is the first single from Adele's debut album 19, released on 22 October 2007 in the United Kingdom. In 2008, the song was re-released as her fourth single. Adele wrote the song in 10 minutes after her mother tried to persuade her to leave her home town of West Norwood in London for university. "Hometown Glory" was the first song that Adele ever wrote.
In 2007, "Hometown Glory" was released on singer Jamie T's Pacemaker Recordings label as a limited edition 7" vinyl single, of which only 500 copies were made, Initially, the song failed to chart. However, due to high downloads of the song during the release week of her 19 album, the song managed to chart inside the UK Singles Chart Top 40 for the first time. In 2010, the song received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
The song had two B-sides; "Best for Last", was used as the B-side for the original release of the album. This song was featured on the single version of the song and 19. When "Hometown Glory" was re-released, a live cover of Etta James's "Fool That I Am" became the song's new B-side.
Amazon UK has the re-release single available for purchase on their MP3 store, however, it does not include "Fool That I Am" for purchase. It only includes a high contrast remix and the instrumental for the remix, as well as the original track.
Adele performed it on both of her tours and opened the Adele Live tour with the song.
Background and composition
As aforementioned, "Hometown Glory" was re-released on 21 July 2008 as the follow-up to second single "Cold Shoulder". The song was added to Radio 1's B-list on 18 June 2008, and moved up to Radio 1's A-list on 2 July 2008. Its B-side now featured Adele's brand-new cover of the Etta James song "Fool That I Am", which was recorded during a live performance in Cambridge. The song was later released in 2008 as Adele's debut single for the U.S. market. Due to the popularity of the song in the UK, which resulted in the song charting inside the UK Top 40 twice on download sales alone, the song was (re-)released as the third single (fourth including the original single release) from the album on 21 July 2008.
