The song performs in common time, at a tempo of 60 beats per minute. Played in the key of C major, the chord structure of C—Fmaj7—Am is followed throughout, and Cyrus's vocal range spans from G₃ to A₄.{{cite web|url=http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdFPE.asp?ppn=mn0126285|title=Miley Cyrus "Adore You" Sheet Music - Download & Print|date=15 October 2013|publisher=Music Notes|access-date=November 2, 2013}} Its lyrics discuss "power imbalance in love";{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2013/oct/04/miley-cyrus-bangerz-review|title=Miley Cyrus: Bangerz – review|last=Empire|first=Kitty|newspaper=The Guardian|date=October 4, 2013|access-date=February 15, 2014}} in the chorus, she states her affection towards her boyfriend through the lines "When you say you need me / Know I need you more / Boy, I adore you", although Kyle Fowle of Slant Magazine felt that Cyrus' reliance in her partner is admittedly detrimental to her personal well-being as the song continues.

In December 2013, Cyrus announced that "Adore You" would be serviced as the third single from her fourth studio album, Bangerz (2013). Its launch followed the tracks "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball", which were respectively released as the first and second singles from the record earlier that year.{{cite web|url=http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/136191/No-Wrecking-Ball-Miley-Cyrus-Releases-Demure-Artwork-For-Adore-You-Single|title=No Wrecking Ball?

On December 18, Cyrus unveiled the official artwork for "Adore You" through her Instagram and Twitter accounts. It shows the lower half of Cyrus' face covered by a bouquet of roses, with the title "Adore You" stylized in an all-capitalized sans serif font.{{cite web|url=http://www.musictimes.com/articles/2915/20131219/miley-cyrus-reveals-demure-adore-cover-art-third-bangerz-single.htm|title=Miley Cyrus reveals demure 'Adore You' cover art for third 'Bangerz' single|last=Menyes|first=Caroline|publisher=MusicTimes|date=December 18, 2013|access-date=December 19, 2013}} The artwork was complimented for its uncharacteristically conservative nature in comparison to her earlier projects which by this time had become associated with Cyrus' new sexually provocative public image.{{cite web|url=http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/12/19/miley-cyrus-adore-you-cover-art-photo/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131220090616/http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/12/19/miley-cyrus-adore-you-cover-art-photo/|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 20, 2013|title=Miley Cyrus Plays Coy Behind A Bouquet Of Roses In Her Shockingly Demure 'Adore You' Cover Art|last=Rubenstein|first=Jenna Hally|publisher=MTV Buzzworthy.

Upon its release, "Adore You" received favorable reviews from music critics, who complimented its overall production and Cyrus' vocals. Heather Phares from AllMusic felt that opening Bangerz with an "unabashedly romantic slow song" was "almost as bold a move as the publicity events that preceded the album's release."{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/bangerz-mw0002577863|title=Bangerz - Miley Cyrus|last=Phares|first=Heather|publisher=AllMusic.

"Adore You" was the highest-charting non-single from Bangerz in the United States, having entered at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week that the record was released in October. In its second week, the track dropped to number 79 before completely falling off the following week. After its accompanying music video was released in December, "Adore You" re-entered the chart at its new peak position of number 22.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/5855137/eminem-rihanna-rule-hot-100-for-a-fourth-week-miley-cyrus-returns|title=Eminem, Rihanna Rule Hot 100 for a Fourth Week; Miley Cyrus Returns|last=Trust|first=Gary|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|date=January 2, 2014|access-date=February 17, 2014}} It has since risen to number 21.{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a552675/katy-perrys-dark-horse-spends-fourth-week-at-no1-in-us.html|title=Katy Perry's 'Dark Horse' spends fourth week at No.1 in US|last=Corner|first=Lewis|publisher=Digital Spy.

"Adore You" charted moderately on national record charts throughout Europe. It respectively reached numbers 21 and 27 on the Scottish Singles Chart and the UK Singles Chart, both of which are managed by the Official Charts Company. The song additionally charted at number 24 on the Danish Tracklisten, number 44 on the Irish Singles Chart, and number 50 on the Spanish PROMUSICAE. The track peaked at number 143 on the French SNEP, and reached numbers 19 and 20 on the Belgian Ultratip charts in Flanders and Wallonia, respectively, which represent the songs that failed to enter the primary Ultratop chart. In Oceania, "Adore You" reached number 25 on the Australian ARIA Charts and number 15 on the Official New Zealand Music Chart; in the former country, the track was certified double platinum in 2023.

Several critics discussed whether the music video for "Adore You" was more provocative than the visuals for Cyrus' previous single "Wrecking Ball". Noting the frequent sexually explicit gestures seen throughout, a writer for Fox News wondered if Cyrus had successfully created a music video "that's somehow more scandalous" than its predecessor, although suggested that its commercial success would suffer from its unauthorized release.{{cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/is-miley-cyrus-adore-you-her-raciest-video-yet/|title=Is Miley Cyrus' 'Adore You' her raciest video yet?|publisher=Fox News Channel. 21st Century Fox|date=December 26, 2013|access-date=February 17, 2014}} Writing for MTV News, Gil Kaufman complimented Cyrus for not appearing particularly concerned with outdoing her previous controversies, and nonetheless felt that Cyrus "ups the ante even more" in the video; he noted the inclusion of "envelope-pushing imagery" often used by mainstream artists including Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry, and cited the clip as "the latest example of Cyrus leaving her girlish ways behind."{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1719635/miley-cyrus-adore-you-most-provocative-video-poll/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141103171032/http://www.mtv.com/news/1719635/miley-cyrus-adore-you-most-provocative-video-poll/|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 3, 2014|title=Is Miley Cyrus' 'Adore You' Her Most Provocative Video Yet?|last=Kaufman|first=Gil|publisher=MTV News.

Cyrus first contacted Gervais over the possibility of remixing "Adore You" in January 2014, shortly after he received the Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical for his version of "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey.{{cite web|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music-arts/remix-guru-cedric-gervais-set-work-miley-cyrus-article-1.1591995|title=Grammys 2014: Remix guru Cedric Gervais set to work with Miley Cyrus after winning for Lana Del Rey tune|last=Dillon|first=Nancy|newspaper=Daily News|publisher=Mortimer Zuckerman|date=January 26, 2014|access-date=February 12, 2014}}

The remixed version of "Adore You" substitutes the original "amorphous rhythms" with prominent elements of dance music, which incorporates a "thumping beat" and progresses into a "dazzling drop" during the chorus.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/5901226/miley-cyrus-adore-you-gets-cedric-gervais-remix-listen|title=Miley Cyrus' 'Adore You' Gets Cedric Gervais Remix: Listen|last=Lipshutz|first=Jason|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|date=February 11, 2014}} The production maintains the "emotional center of the song" while adding "a cascading signal boost."{{cite web|url=http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2014/02/12/miley-cyrus-adore-you-cedric-gervais-remix/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221211524/http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2014/02/12/miley-cyrus-adore-you-cedric-gervais-remix/|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 21, 2014|title=Miley Cyrus' 'Adore You' Gets An EDM Makeover From Cedric Gervais|last=O'Neil|first=Luke|publisher=MTV Buzzworthy.

Gervais' remix of "Adore You" received generally favorable reviews from music critics. Jason Lipshutz from Billboard and Lewis Corner from Digital Spy wrote favorably of the redone production; the former complimented the conversion of the original "yearning ballad" into a "first-pumping anthem", while the latter appreciated its transition into a "club anthem" from the first "romantic ballad".{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a550541/miley-cyruss-adore-you-gets-cedric-gervais-remix-listen.html|title=Miley Cyrus's 'Adore You' gets Cedric Gervais remix - listen|last=Corner|first=Lewis|publisher=Digital Spy. Hearst Corporation|date=February 11, 2014|access-date=February 12, 2014}} Noting that the original version of the track had not charted as strongly as Cyrus' previous singles "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball", Esi Mensah from Entertainmentwise thought that Gervais "rescued the track" after becoming "a fun electronic dance song."{{cite web|url=http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/140882/DJ-Turns-Miley-Cyrus-Song-Adore-You-Into-Club-Banger-LISTEN#1ABOvPFSRZ0HoVP5.99|title=DJ Turns Miley Cyrus' Song 'Adore You' Into Club Banger|last=Mensah|first=Esi|publisher=Entertainmentwise.

James Shotwell from Under the Gun Review felt that the album version of the track was "a bit of a snoozer", and jokingly said to attempt to "resist" enjoying the remix.{{cite web|url=http://www.underthegunreview.net/2014/02/13/required-listening-miley-cyrus-adore-you-cedric-gervais-remix/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140213172925/http://www.underthegunreview.net/2014/02/13/required-listening-miley-cyrus-adore-you-cedric-gervais-remix/|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 13, 2014|title=Required Listening: Miley Cyrus - "Adore You" (Cedric Gervais Remix)|last=Shotwell|first=James|publisher=Under the Gun Review|date=February 13, 2014|access-date=February 16, 2014}} Vanyaland contributor Michael Marotta agreed that the song benefited from "a much-needed energy injection" that he hoped would "[get] exposed" through Cyrus' Bangerz Tour.{{cite web|url=http://www.vanyaland.com/2014/02/13/true-banger-listen-cedric-gervais-club-remix-miley-cyrus-adore/|title=True Banger: Listen to Cedric Gervais' club remix of Miley Cyrus' 'Adore You'|last=Marotta|first=Michael|publisher=Vanyaland|date=February 13, 2014|access-date=February 16, 2014}} Writing for Idolator, Mike Wass commented the track worked better with the original "minimal production" and thought that the remix was "cheesy", although he admitted that he "wouldn't switch channels if it came on the radio."{{cite web|url=http://www.idolator.com/7505334/miley-cyrus-adore-you-cedric-gervais-remix|title=Miley Cyrus' "Adore You" Gets A Thumping Cedric Gervais Remix: Listen|last=Wass|first=Mike|publisher=Idolator.
