Adele released the next single from her album 25 today (Feb. 5). Titled “When We Were Young,” the brooding ballad looks to the past for inspiration, and waxes poetic about someone Adele knew when she was younger.

Set to a piano that lightly plays melody behind Adele’s voice–the song’s real star power–she slowly and almost melancholically pines during the verses only to let loose during the chorus. “You look like a movie/ You sound like a song/ My god this reminds me/ Of when we were young,” she sings.
To make things even better, the artwork Adele released with the track is totes adorbs. She shared a photo on Instagram of when she was younger. Check out the beaming little Adele and listen to “When We Were Young” below:
