Adele's new album 25 will be released on Friday (Nov. 20), but so far, fans have only heard one new song, the No. 1 booming hit "Hello." But now, in a preview of her 60 Minutes Australia interview, the pop megastar has teased another track: her Tobias Jesso Jr. collaboration "When We Were Young."
Adele offered 60 Minutes Australia her first-ever performance of the new song, which falls right in line with the rest of her discography. Featuring lyrics about being scared and worried about getting older, Adele reconnects with an old lover in the track, which features some of her most stunning and powerful vocals to date.
"Just like a storm / This reminds me of when we were young," Adele sings with booming music behind her, eventually soaring into a massive high note before a backing choir kicks in. "Let me photograph you in this light / In case it is the last time / We might be exactly like we were before we realized / We were sad in getting older and restless / Oh, I'm so sad I'm getting old it makes me reckless / It was just like a movie / It was just like a song / When we were young."
While singing the brand new song, Adele is clearly feeling the emotions of it all, as she sways to the beat and sticks one arm in the air, like the total diva that she is.
