to:

-->''"Hello. It's me."''
-->''Hello, it's me\\
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet\\
To go over everything\\
They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing\\
Hello, can you hear me?\\
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be\\
When we were younger and free\\
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet''
-->--'''"Hello"'''

* SingingVoiceDissonance: When she speaks, she retains her very strong North London accent, but you couldn't tell it from her singing voice. After she swept the 2012 Grammy Awards, "Fank you" trended worldwide on Twitter.

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** To Music/AmyWinehouse. Also recognized as spiritual successor to Dame Music/ShirleyBassey at the 2013 Oscars due to her success with the theme from ''Skyfall''. She herself openly loathes this notion, however, claiming that she only shares with other British singers like Amy the "gender, not the genre".
** For her own songs, "Hello" to "Someone Like You" and "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" to "Rumor Has It".
