Following her record-breaking single “Hello,” Adele debuts a new song she wrote with Tobias Jesso Jr. called “When We Were Young.” The British singer performed the heartfelt song live at The Church Studios in London.
“You still look like a movie / You still sound like a song / My God this reminds me of when we were young / Let me photograph you in this light / In case it is the last time that we might be exactly like we were / Before we realized we were sad that we were getting old and getting restless,” Adele belts.
Speaking on the track, Adele tells SiriusXM, “It was based on us being older, and being at a party at this house, and seeing everyone that you’ve ever fallen out with, everyone that you’ve ever loved, everyone that you’ve never loved, and stuff like that, where you can’t find the time to be in each other lives. And you’re all thrown together at this party when you’re like 50, and it doesn’t matter and you have so much fun and you feel like you’re 15 again. So that’s the vibe of it really.”
Adele’s highly-awaited third studio album, 25, will release on Nov. 20.
