"Seasons Change" is a popR&B song written and produced by Lewis Martineé for the American girl group Exposé's debut album, Exposure (1987). It was the group's fourth single released. The song's lyrics describe relationships fading away due to the changes brought about by time (on both people and events). It is something of a sentimental break-up song, though not about any person in particular. It's not typical of this group's dance-pop-oriented sound, yet it remains their biggest hit to date. Angie Vollaro of fellow Lewis A. Martineé group Sequal lent background vocals to this song.
