• Justin Bieber's wife, Hailey Baldwin, has helped provide him a sense of stability after he'd struggled with life in the spotlight. Changes, the first album released by the Canadian pop star since getting married, is a fulsome tribute to her.
  
  Over a twanging acoustic guitar, Bieber sings on the title track that he's now a changed person. However, these changes don't mean that his love for her will ever falter.
• Bieber concludes the song with an overt nod to his Christian faith.
  
  Uh, people change, circumstances change
  But God always remains the same

• Justin Bieber took to Instagram to share his feelings about Changes being nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2021 Grammys.
  
  "I am very meticulous and intentional about my music," he wrote. "With that being said I set out to make an R&B album. Changes was and is an R&B album. It is not being acknowledged as an R&B album which is very strange to me."
  
  Bieber went on to say that having grown up admiring R&B music, he set out "to make a project that would embody that sound." He felt it was weird that he'd been nominated for a pop record, as the "chords to the melodies to the vocal style all the way down to the hip hop drums" all pointed toward what he feels is "undeniably, unmistakably an R&B album."
  
  The caption also noted that he didn't his comments taken the wrong way. "Please don't mistake this as me being ungrateful, these are just my thoughts take em or leave em," he noted. "Thank you to the people who fought for me to even have any noms."
