In 2005, The Adams released their self-titled debut album, featuring the singles "Konservatif" and "Waiting," both of which were also featured in the hit movie Janji Joni. Later in the year, Beni left to focus on his duties as drummer for The Upstairs, while Bimo moved to Bali to continue his studies. Karon ’N Roll guitarist Arfan (or Apoy) was drafted as bassist, Gigih Suryoprayogo Setiadi (alias Kiting) of It’s Different Class took over Bimo’s place behind the drumkit, and live keyboardist Retiara Haswidya Nasution (a.k.a Kaka) was promoted to full-time member.
In 2006, The Adams’ new line-up released v2.05, which expanded their old sound with more elaborate song structures and swirling five-part harmonies. With the hit singles "Halo Beni," "Hanya Kau" and "Selamat Pagi Juwita" and their electrifying live shows, The Adams have become one of Indonesia’s most exciting bands.
After a long hiatus in 2008 to work on other projects, The Adams are now back and ready to make more music and reconnect with their fans who have been awaiting their return.

The Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The love fool
The love
The love
The love fool
My apologies, I'm so sorry, yeah it was all my fault
You're so hard to read, get me up to speed, yeah let me play my part
Why you acting so strangely lately
You call me stupid and useless
I don't know what else to do
With all these pictures of you because
You're not who you once were
Baby don't make me choose between losing you
And not knowing what to do
The love fool
The love fool
The love
The love
The love fool
Waking up I feel the same
No one else to blame for yesterday
Every time I turn away
You go ahead and pack my things
She says I'm abrasive and tells me that it's contagious
I waited for you in Vegas, tried my best to be patient for you
Baby don't make me choose between losing you
And not knowing what to do
The love fool
The love fool
The love

"The Adams's Song Fool" is a song about a love fool who is unsure of his relationship with his partner. The love fool in question has made mistakes in the past, for which he apologizes, but is now confused about the behavior of his partner. He realizes that something is off, and suspects that there may be someone else in her life. He is troubled by the fact that she is acting strangely towards him and is avoiding his questions. He is aware that he has been stupid and feels helpless because he is unable to resolve the situation.
The love fool tries to reconcile with his partner, but she is not responsive. He feels like he is losing her and is torn between wanting to hold onto her and not knowing what to do. He is aware that he needs to move on, but he is not sure if he is ready to let go of the relationship. In the end, he decides that he cannot keep waiting for her and that he needs to move on.
The song is about the pain and confusion that come with the end of a relationship. It is about the difficulty of letting go when you are still attached to someone, even when you know that you should. The song's lyrics capture the emotions of a love fool who is caught up in a situation that he cannot change.
