The Album Was Named After The Age Of The Singer During Its Production. 21 Shares The Folk And Motown Soul Influences Of Her 2008 Debut Album 19 But Was Further Inspired By The American Country And Southern Blues Music To Which She Had Been Exposed During Her 2008–09 North American Tour An Evening With Adele.

Dissatisfied With Once Again Portraying Herself As The Musical Tragedian Of Her Debut She Had Intended To Compose A More Upbeat And Contemporary Follow-Up.
