“The Adults Are Talking” is the opening track on "The New Abnormal". The track takes on a rebellious tone against higher-ups in the world, a common theme in The Strokes' discography, with Julian singing about people in the business world lying, wanting to “climb into the walls” of those who don’t like the group and their attitudes. The track features a mostly bass-centric instrumental with very peppy snares drums providing the main percussion on the track.
