"Set Fire to the Rain" is a medium-tempo song. The lyrics use metonymy and use love as the main description object. It satirizes that women in love always play the weak role of being more emotional than rational. Role. The high note at the end of the song is the highlight of the entire single. Adele's ethereal voice appropriately expresses the tangled emotions of water and fire after the breakup of love. Musically, the song uses piano as the main soundtrack structure. The simple piano accompaniment has a broad and shocking power. Adele's mellow voice adds a lot to the song.
