Songfacts®:

Exposé made their mark in the '80s with dance music, landing with hits like "Point Of No Return" and "Let Me Be The One." But they did cross over in a big way with "Seasons Change," a ballad that was the last single from their debut album. Championed by their label boss, Clive Davis, it went to #1 on both the Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts.

Like every song on their debut album, "Seasons Change" was written by Lewis Martineé, who formed the group. By their third album, Exposé in 1992, they gave up on dance pop and went after a more mature audience. Martineé reduced his presence, and Arista filled the album with songs written by Diane Warren, the tunesmith whose love songs kept artists from Cher to Christina Aguilera on the charts. One of those songs was "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me," which tackles that feeling when you realize your ex didn't care nearly as much about the relationship as you did. It gave the group another Adult Contemporary #1 and also went to #8 on the Hot 100, the last Top 40 for Exposé.
Guy Roche, whose clients include Olivia Newton-John, Cher, and Céline Dion, produced this track. Like many Exposé songs, it features a saxophone, this time played by Tom Timko.
Jeanette Jurado handled lead vocals on this track. She was the first group member to enter the picture when the original Exposé trio left during recording of their debut album.
