content
Changing is about the singer's desire to change after living in the same city for too long under circumstances that are not good for her. So it says in the refrain: “Everything is changing and I've been here for too long, going through the same things. I've been hurting too long, got to move on. ”(Translated:“ Everything is changing and I've been here too long, I'm going through the same things. I've been hurt too long, have to move on. ”). The song consists of two stanzas, each followed by the chorus and a hookline , as well as a final outro .
The track is fast (175 BPM ) and is classified as drum and bass by its beats . But it also contains elements of classical music (strings), gospel and soul . An editor of drumandbass.de judged that Changing sounds "like a 70s soul hymn in a drum & bass guise".
Video
The music video for Changing was directed by Craig Moore, an employee of the London production company Familia. It shows Paloma Faith, who is driven through the streets of Little Havana (Miami) in a 1959 Chevy Impala and observes various locals in everyday scenes. At the end she meets Cameron Edwards and Joe Lenzie from Sigma.
