Adele’s new album “25” came out this past Friday, and if you tell me that you haven’t been listening to it on repeat non-stop since then, I’m going to tell you that you’re a liar. Unlike “21,” Adele’s new album isn’t the breakup soundtrack we all expected (although there are some of those songs, don’t you worry). “25” is filled with highs and lows with the perfect song for almost every occasion. I’ve broken them all down for you, so add them to their appropriate playlists on your iPhone at your leisure.

Listen To It When: A tagged photo of your ex shows up on your news feed
Pairs Well With: Boxed red wine and a stroll down memory lane through all of your old tagged photos together

Listen To It When: You can think about your ex with a smile and it finally hits you that you really are over him for good
