On 16 November 2015, a preview of "When We Were Young" was exhibited by Australian TV program 60 Minutes. The song kind of feels like a lot of different vignettes, reflecting on different times in your life and different people, so all these instruments-bass, drums, piano-felt like other characters." According to the producer, Adele felt emotionally connected to the song and "there was definitely a little bit of tearing up." He also told The Fader that it only took two takes to record the song, and during the song's middle eight, he pushed her beyond her means, since he "felt that it needed to have a little bit more cry to it."
He later went back to Los Angeles, where he started "chipping away at a rhythm track for it," as he recalled: "It was difficult-with a piano ballad, it's hard to put together a rhythm track that isn't over-the-top dramatic, kind of epic." Rechtshaid added that "the song has an old soul vibe to it, but I wanted to keep it a little bit more modern.
Rechtshaid claimed that Adele told him that she loved the track, but that she had a lot of ballads on the record and asked him to do whatever he wanted with that information. He then flew over to London where he produced two songs for her. Later, American record producer Ariel Rechtshaid, who previously worked with Jesso, heard rumours that Adele and Jesso wanted to work with him. She was the first introduction I had to somebody who could sing words on the spot that were actually really great". "It's impossible to question why she's where she is once you sit down with her to write a song. They started the song from scratch, as Jesso "would play chords while Adele improvised melodies and lyrics." As Jesso recounted, "There was no studio, just a piano and us, and we wrote a lot. They ended up writing two songs, "When We Were Young" and "Lay Me Down", with the first being written in a Los Angeles house, in Brentwood, at Philip Glass' piano that Tobias had inherited. After their managers talked about the collaboration, they met and spent almost three days talking and writing. She later tweeted a link to Jesso's video for his single, " How Could You Babe". Therefore, in early 2015, Adele flew to Los Angeles to work with different songwriters and producers for two months, and later she expressed interest in working with Canadian musician Tobias Jesso Jr., after discovering him after hearing his song "Hollywood". Rubin claimed he didn't believe in the songs she had and she admitted that she felt the material was a little rushed. Her manager was also unsure about it and asked Rick Rubin, who produced many songs on her sophomore studio album 21, to give his input on it. While in the middle of the writing process of 25, Adele struggled with writer's block and to feel confident about the material she had written. Adele promoted the song with live performances on Adele at the BBC, Saturday Night Live, Adele Live in New York City and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.Īmerican record producer Ariel Rechtshaid produced the song. The song never received an official music video, although a version of the song filmed at The Church Studios was released via Vevo.
