Best For Last by Adele

“Best for Last” is a stripped-down acoustic track on Adele’s debut, 19. It sheds some light on the downfall of the relationship between Adele and her ex-boyfriend, which inspired almost all of the songs on the album. Here, we see Adele has developed mixed feelings about this guy. On one hand, she’s realized that, despite her best efforts, her love for him will remain indefinitely unrequited—no matter what she does, he always “goes back” to an old flame. .
