Cover Wars: When We Were Young

“When We Were Young” was the second song released from Adele’s dramatic return to music, 25. The song was released on November 17, 2015 with a video of Adele performing the song live at Church Studios in London. The performance at Church Studios was teased during a preview of a 60 Minutes Australia interview with the songstress.

“When We Were Young” was co-wrote by Adele and Tobias Jesso Jr. in Los Angeles, California.
