Although Adele clearly possesses the wisdom and heartbreak you can only build up over centuries, she will never stop reminding you of ages she used to be in the not-so-distant past. First in album titles, and now with her new single cover.

The "When We Were Young" art features a throwback shot of the singer, flashing a grin that's missing a couple front teeth and looking like the girl you would have wanted at your sleepover, singing Spice Girls songs.

And now that the song is a single, you can listen to it on Spotify, where 25 still isn't available in its entirety.

Fans have spotted baby Adele plastered around London and presumably hoped that their own mothers don't get any ideas from this:
