The "25" Album Trivia Quiz

Answer: Hello

"Hello" was released as a single on October 23, 2015, and was co-written by Adele and producer Greg Kurstin, who has worked with artists like Kelly Clarkson, Lily Allen and Pink. The song won three Grammy Awards in 2017 for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.

It stayed at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for ten weeks in a row. The song's music video featured Adele and Tristan Wilds, and was directed by Xavier Dolan. The video has many unique characteristics, such as Adele using a retro phone and its sepia tone.

The video, like the song, shows Adele dealing with a break-up and a younger version of herself.

Answer: All I Ask

"All I Ask" was released as a single on November 20, 2015, and was collaboratively written by Adele, Philip Lawrence, Christopher Brody Brown, and singer Bruno Mars. The song reached number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Adele performed the song during the 58th Grammy Awards, where there was a problem with the sound of the piano since microphones fell on its strings.

In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Adele stated that she cried the day after this performance.

Answer: When We Were Young

"When We Were Young" was released as a single on January 22, 2016, and was co-written by Adele and Canadian musician Tobias Jesso Jr. In a "Rolling Stone" interview, Adele indicated this was her favorite song of the album. It peaked at number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Answer: Water Under the Bridge

"Water Under the Bridge" was released as a single on November 4, 2016, and was co-written by Adele and Greg Kurstin. The song reached the 26th position on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and was featured on the Brazilian soap opera "A Lei do Amor." Adele has stated that the song is not about an ending relationship; but rather, about her getting scared by how real the relationship is getting.

Answer: I Miss You

"I Miss You" was co-written by Adele and producer Paul Epworth, who has collaborated with artists like U2 and Coldplay and co-wrote the Academy Award-winning theme song for the James Bond movie "Skyfall" (with Adele.) The song, according to Adele, is about sex and intimacy, and how the sexual component makes up for the problematic emotional state of her relationship.

Answer: Send My Love (To Your New Lover)

"Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" was co-written by Adele and producers Max Martin and Shellback, both of whom have worked with artists like Taylor Swift. An upbeat song (which contrasts with most of the album's ballads,) the song is interpreted as Adele sending a message of moving on to her ex-boyfriend, making it clear that she is over the relationship.

The song reached the 26th position on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Answer: River Lea

"River Lea" was co-written by Adele and Brian Burton (also known as Danger Mouse, who formed Gnarls Barkley with CeeLo Green). The song, which has a characteristic gospel tune, refers to a real river of the same name, which is very close to Adele's hometown.

The river meets the Thames at one point. The song is about Adele remembering the pain she felt at a particular point of time, and how she links that emotional pain to the river.

Answer: Million Years Ago

"Million Years Ago" was co-written by Adele and producer Greg Kurstin. The song reached the nineteenth position on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles charts, and uses the melody from the "Phantom of the Opera" song. According to Adele in an interview with "Rolling Stone," the song tells a story about how she misses her life when she was younger, particularly in a London park called Brockwell Park.

Answer: Love in the Dark

"Love in the Dark" was co-written by Adele and producer Samuel Dixon, who has also worked with artists like Christina Aguilera and Sia. Unsurprisingly, the song deals with one of Adele's past relationships. It explores a relationship that Adele considers fruitless and bound to fail, which is why she finds herself in the position of breaking up (rather than her boyfriend breaking up with her.)

Answer: Sweetest Devotion

"Sweetest Devotion" was co-written by Adele and producer Paul Epworth. Adele has divulged that the song is about her son, Angelo, and how her life has changed ever since she had him. Her "sweetest devotion" is therefore her son, for whom she feels unconditional love, a kind of love she had never felt before.
