Upon release Sewell said the song is an apology to an ex-girlfriend, telling never to change for anyone. He explains "I wrote it right in the middle of the relationship I was in when I started to realise that I was ruining it, and that my actions were starting to affect her. I would come home and see her crying. She was always upset. She wasn't the same person that she was when we first started dating. And I felt like it was because of me and the way I was acting." [1]
The music video for "Changing" was directed by Matt Earl and released on 16 October 2018. [2]
The Prelude Press described the song as "vulnerable and emotional". [1] Power FM described the song as "a stripped back ballad that shows the Aussie powerhouse's penchant for bold and masterful songwriting." [3]
