On March 1, 2018, X announced he was releasing two songs from his then-upcoming album ?, saying on Instagram "Dropping two songs from my album tonight at 12:00 am est, play them more times than you can count."[1] "Changes" was released on March 2, 2018, on Spotify, Deezer, iTunes/Apple Music and Tidal alongside "Sad!".[2][3]

HotNewHipHop called it a "slow jam" and noted that X is "channeling his emotion to go for more of a singing vibe."[4] Billboard called it a "heart-on-sleeve track" with revealing lyrics.[5] XXL called the song a "piano-driven ballad" that takes a different tone than X's "Sad!".[6]
