One of her best songs ever. When the album came out, I really liked this but I don't recall having it in my top 5. After Carpool Karaoke, I got into it and it's now in my top 3 '25' songs cause I'm a basic bitch  Great song! Also, a universal fan favorite. |

This is such a great song. I think it would have been the fifth single if 25 did that. It's too bad that the Grammy thing had to happen to this song.

Given this was a co-write with Bruno, I thought it left a lot to be desired. Not bad though.

This is definitely one of my favorites from 25.
It made it to #77 on the Hot 100.

I believe the plan was to make this a single at some point WW, but as someone else said, the Grammys performance basically ruined its chances. Felt so bad for her. :(

She always had a lot of problems singing it live. Bruno, on the other hand, slayed it. High key and all.

^ Because she isn’t a great vocalist. Ever heard her try to hit the note at the bridge of “When We Were Young” live? A mess.
Good track though. I could definitely hear Bruno’s pen.

I don't like Bruno's performance. He has great vocals but I really prefer Adele and not just because she's the original.

This being an album track shows how 25 was really a solid album. I get that some are upset Adele beat Beyonce for AOTY, and I get it, but it's not that 25 was a bad choice. It had 4 hits from it, and then album tracks like "All I Ask" are well-known, too.

Adele's tone is great on this one unlike Bruno whom sounded nasal whenever he performed this live. It is obvious a Bruno-assisted track in how it is sung in parts, but Adele suited it better, imo. |

Well at least he wasn't off key with no resonance. |

Good track but not one of my favorites from her. I could see why it could have been a solid fifth single choice, but she was not going to promote it so I'm fine with it staying unreleased.

I saw this as having single potential when the album came out and even though it wasn't, for some reason I think that if there is one song from 25 people remember other than the first single, it's going to be this.

One of my least favourite from 25.
