"Love in the Dark" is a song by English singer and songwriter Adele from her third studio album, 25 (2015). The song was written by Adele Adkins and Samuel Dixon. It charted at number 39, 79, 65, 52 and 76 on France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and in the UK Singles Chart, respectively as well as charting at number 54 on the Global 200, primarily following the release of her recent single "Easy on Me" in 2021.

Composition[edit]

"Love in the Dark" is a torch ballad song which is written in the key of A minor and it is composed in common time (4
4
time).[1]

Meaning[edit]

"Love in the Dark" is a slow, sad, beautiful song from Adele, and it's likely based on a lot of what 21 was based on. Adele has said that 25 is a make-up album, as opposed to 21 which was a break-up album. However, in this song, Adele does reach back for a little of what made her famous and executes it skillfully in this song.[2]
