The cinematic black-and-white video for the somber ballad sees Adele solemnly walking alongside a bridge and several abandoned streets in Paris. At various points in the visual, the “Hello” singer locks eyes with the camera and shoots it a knowing glance while singing the emotional lyrics: “Never mind, I’ll find someone like you/ I wish nothing but the best for you, too/ ‘Don’t forget me,’ I beg/ I remember you said/ ‘Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead.'”
