I always assumed that Adele did most of the songwriting in her collaborations with Ryan Tedder on “Rumour Has It” and “Set Fire To the Rain”, but this song makes me wonder. “Counting Stars” was gutsier and more intense than anything OneRepublic had done previously, but even it sounds soft and mild compared to this pounding, bluesy, almost Hard Rock stunner. It genuinely sounds like his Adele collaborations, and I am still in absolute disbelief that Tedder could have written something like this on his own, but hey, hearing is believing.
