Even before Adele's new album "25" was even dropped, she gave fans a heads up about her second single from the record.
The 27-year-old had teased "When We Were Young" via a teaser clip days ago. And now, she has opened the curtains fully on the said track through a video posted on her YouTube page.
"Adele is seen preparing for the performance with her make-up team as she happily chats to her backing singers while having her hair styled," MailOnline said of the beginning of the full-length clip.
"Showing off her slimmer figure in a velvet skirt and matching jacket, the mother-of-one then steps up to the mic in the intimate setting of The Church venue in London and tells her band to strike up 'When We Were Young,'" the British publication went on.
"Adele closes the performance by making one of her trademark jokes, mocking herself for dramatically removing the mic from its stand, adding: 'That's new - I've never done that one before!'" the entertainment news source added.
Fans continue to rave about her come back and welcomed the new track with warm and open arms.
Almost at the same time, rumors of Adele's new album leaking emerged, with someone on Twitter saying copies of "25" were "mistakenly put on the shelves at Target," Mashable said.
Target later told the news source that the photo showing the alleged album "is not a Target album."
Meanwhile, Billboard reported that two minute clips of each song from "25" have reportedly been leaked online. The music news hub also added that Adele's reps said the Target sales are not true.
Mashable had mentioned that UK music seller Juno Records had published 2-minute snippets of the Adele tracks in the upcoming album, which will be released November 20, on its site. It has since removed the links in the wake of the incident.
Some, however, managed to hear those samplers before they were taken down.
"Judging by these clips, 'Hello' isn't the only song on 25 that will have you crying in public," Cosmopolitan reviewed. "Make sure your listening parties are stocked with copious wine, because you're going to need it."
The track list for the upcoming record is said to be as follows, according to Billboard in a previous update:
1. Hello
2. Send My Love (To Your New Lover)
3. I Miss You
4. When We Were Young
5. Remedy
6. Water Under The Bridge
7. River Lea
8. Love In The Dark
9. Million Years Ago
10. All I Ask
11. Sweetest Devotion
At the rate things are going, observers have predicted "25" will turn out to be another hit record for the British songstress.
"Hailed in some quarters as the saviour of the music industry, some observers expect 25 to sell 2m copies in its first week on sale in America - a feat only one album has achieved to date, N Sync's 2000 opus No Strings Attached, which was released before downloading and streaming rocked the music business," The Guardian noted.
