==Background and composition==
The song was inspired by an incident Adele had with a former boyfriend of six months.〔Frehsée, Nicole (22 January 2009), "Meet Adele, the U.K.'s Newest Soul Star". ''Rolling Stone''. (1070):26〕 After learning he had cheated on her, she went to the bar he was at and punched him in the face.〔 After being thrown out, Adele walked down the street alone and thought to herself, "What is it you're chasing? You're chasing an empty pavement." She sang and recorded it on her mobile phone and arranged the chords when she got home.〔 "Chasing Pavements" is written in the key of C minor.
