ADELE 25 lyrics

25 is the third studio album recorded by English singer and songwriter Adele. It was released on 20 November 2015, through XL Recordings. Titled as a reflection of her life and frame of mind at 25 years old, 25 is a "make-up record". In contrast to Adele's previous work, the production of 25 incorporated the use of electronic elements and creative rhythmic patterns, with elements of 1980s R&B and organs. Like previous album 21, Adele collaborated with producer and songwriter Paul Epworth and Ryan Tedder, along with new collaborations with Max Martin and Shellback, Greg Kurstin, Danger Mouse, the Smeezingtons, Samuel Dixon, and Tobias Jesso Jr.

Amid heavy promotion and an anticipated release, the album was released to critical and commercial success. 25 debuted at number one in more than 10 markets and broke first-week sales records in multiple countries, including the United Kingdom and United States; in the US, the album sold 3.38 million copies in its first week of release, marking the largest single-week sales for an album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking point-of-sale music purchases in 1991.
