adele added the song to the set list on her second worldwide tour adele live. she also performed the song during the 2011 itunes festival in london. american singer jeremih covered the song during "billboard"s mashup mondays. during an interview he said: "i know you probably haven't heard this type of sound from my voice, so i just wanted to touch it. and see what i could do with it. [...] the bridge is my favorite part. it showcased my vocals entirely, being so bare, just the keys and guitar. at first i was going to switch from keys to strings, but that was just too much." jessica letkemann of "billboard" praised jeremih's tenor and his "dusky-yet-feminine voice" saying that he was "centered on stripping the song's instrumentation down." during the cover, jeremih made references to vanilla ice, david bowie and freddie mercury.
