Rolling in the Deep Trivia Questions

At the 54th Grammys in 2012, 'Rolling in the Deep' won Record of the Year, Adele's first win in that category. She had previously won Best New Artist in 2009.

The video is actually in color but uses a desaturated, grungy filter. It also features Adele in a room full of floating chairs and broken glass.

No other artist was considered. Adele wrote it for herself, and Beyoncé later covered it live but was never offered the original recording.

The song was written by Adele and Paul Epworth for her album '21'. Epworth produced the track and co-wrote it with her in a single studio session.

Adele explained the phrase as an adaptation of 'roll deep,' slang for having someone's back, meaning to be deeply in love or completely committed in a relationship.

Producer Paul Epworth had a choir of friends record the backing vocals in a church to achieve the song's powerful, gospel-infused sound.

The distinctive beat was created in the studio by recording Adele stomping and producer Paul Epworth hitting a guitar case, not by sampling a soul track.

XL Recordings executives worried the raw emotion was too intense for mainstream pop, but Adele insisted it stay as recorded.
