Who co-wrote Adele's song 'To Be Loved' from the album '30'?

Tobias Jesso Jr. co-wrote Adele’s “To Be Loved” from the album 30.

Jesso Jr. wrote the song with Adele, and he also produced it with Shawn Everett and played its piano part. The track became the 11th song on 30, released on 19 November 2021. Its sparse arrangement leaves the piano and Adele’s vocal performance exposed, giving the song the character of a torch ballad.

The collaboration continued a creative partnership that had already produced “When We Were Young” on Adele’s 2015 album 25. “To Be Loved” was written in a Brentwood house without conventional studio equipment; Adele initially recorded vocal takes on her MacBook before the final production was completed.

The song addresses the sacrifices involved in love and reflects on Adele’s divorce from Simon Konecki. It is sometimes confused with a Greg Kurstin collaboration because Kurstin worked extensively on 30, but the credited co-writers are Adele and Tobias Jesso Jr.
