"Everything Changes" is a song by English boy band Take That. The song was the fifth single from the band's second studio album, Everything Changes (1993). It was written by Gary Barlow and its producers Michael Ward, Eliot Kennedy and Cary Bayliss. The song features Robbie Williams on lead vocals.

The single was released on 28 March 1994, it was Take That's fourth consecutive single to go straight in at number one on the UK Singles Chart, where it remained for two weeks. The song sold 200,000 copies in the UK and has received a silver disc certification from the British Phonographic Industry.

Critical reception[]

Tom Ewing from Freaky Trigger described the song as "breezy" and "disco-inspired", adding that "this is the first number one with lead vocals from Robbie Williams."[3] Music & Media commented, "Philly soul is what the "fab five" exercise on the title track off their current album."[4] Alan Jones from Music Week gave "Everything Changes" five out of five. He wrote, "The glossy but insubstantial title track of the boys' double platinum album has a good chance of becoming their fourth consecutive number one".[5] Pop Rescue noted that Williams "opens the song with some sultry reassurance before it opens out into a bouncy little pop song." They added that "at times, this song feels somewhat Stock/Aitken/Waterman".[6]

Music video[]

The music video for the song, liberally based on Kylie Minogue's video for her single "Give Me Just a Little More Time" (shot in the same location, 24 months earlier, in sepia tone), shows the band in a jazz cafe performing the song with people in the cafe joining in. The music video uses the 7-inch mix, which removes Williams' spoken intro from the album version that says "Girl, come over here, let me hold you for a little while and remember I'll always love you." The 7-inch mix also appears on their Greatest Hits album.

Track listings[]

The B-side of the single features a studio version of a medley of songs by The Beatles, which the band performed live in concerts. The songs included, in order, are "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "A Hard Day's Night" and "She Loves You".
