"Million Years Ago" is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter Adele for her third studio album, 25 (2015). The song was written by Adele and Greg Kurstin, with production of the song provided by the latter. Lyrically, the track is about how fame has personally affected her and everyone around her. On Adele at the BBC in 2015, she stated that the song was, "kind of a story about (...) I drove past Brockwell Park, which is a park in South London I used to live by. It's where I spent a lot of my youth". Musically, the song is an acoustic tune accompanied only by guitar.

"Million Years Ago" charted in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. Adele performed the song during Adele at the BBC, Adele Live in New York City, and on Today.

The song faced controversy and legal issues after Adele was accused of plagiarising the song "Mulheres" by Toninho Geraes. In December 2024, a Brazilian court ruled that the song was plagiarised, and Adele was ordered to cease all publication of "Million Years Ago".

However In May 2025, a Rio Court of Justice (Brazilian court) ruled that the song 'Million Years Ago', by singer Adele, should be available on digital platforms.
