This is a cover of a Bob Dylan song from his 1997 album Time Out Of Mind. Adele explained to the Manchester Evening News January 22, 2008 why she decided to record this: "I wrote 9 songs in a short space of time, all about this awful relationship I was in. I never quite got down what I was really feeling in those songs, though. Although I was trying to. It wasn't that I was holding back or anything, but I just couldn't get it down. I was bitterly upset and then my manager played me this Bob Dylan song 'Make You Feel My Love.' The lyrics are just amazing, and summed up exactly what I'd been trying to say in my songs. It's about regretting not being with someone, and it's beautiful. It's weird that my favorite song on my album is a cover, but I couldn't not put it on there."
Another cover by Garth Brooks reached #1 in the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart in 1998 and also featured on the soundtrack of the movie Hope Floats the same year.
The song returned to the UK singles chart in September 2010 after X-Factor contestant Annastasia Baker performed the song on the show.
