"Change" is a song originally written by Roland Orzabal of the British band Tears for Fears. It was the band's fourth single release (the second taken from their debut LP The Hurting) and second UK Top 5 chart hit, following the success of "Mad World". The song also gave Tears for Fears their first charting single in America when it cracked the Billboard Top 75 in August 1983.
In addition to the regular and 12" extended versions of the song, there was an alternate "new version" included on some 12" singles as well as the UK cassette release of The Hurting. This mix is thought to be a demo dating back to the band's sessions with producer Mike Howlett.
