Australian news outlet 60 Minutes Australia secured the singer for an exclusive performance of her anticipated new tracks. The 27-year-old singer/songwriter previewed the song during a 60 Minutes interview teaser. “We are, in our brains”, she joked to Rolling Stone, referring to Taylor Swift’s famous posse of gal-pals. From what we can garner, the song-co-written with Tobias Jesso Jr.-echoes familiar Adele themes of nostalgia and longing (“It was just like a movie / it was just like a song / when we were young”), replete with a trademark booming chorus.
With lyrics such as, ‘We were sad ’bout getting old, it made us restless, ‘ the track is as emotionally-charged and reflective as Hello (which still has us reaching for the tissues every time we hear it, FYI).
