Adele's new single "When We Were Young" is officially out. The song hit streaming services including Spotify on Friday, February 5 along with it's official cover art, which is aptly a photo of the British singer, without her two front teeth, taken when she was super young.
Co-penned by Tobias Jesso Jr. and produced by Ariel Rechtshaid, the track was released as the second single off Adele's record-breaking comeback album, "25". It serves as a follow-up to the 27-year-old songbird's "Hello" that spent multiple weeks at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100.

Adele first debuted "When We Were Young" in full last November during an interview with "60 Minutes" Australia. Later that month, she performed it live for the first time on TV when she appeared on "Saturday Night Live".
"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," Adele said of the song in an interview. "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 kind of vibe of it really."
