• This ode to eternal love and commitment was written by Gary Barlow alongside producers Michael Ward, Eliot Kennedy, and Cary Baylis. Barlow penned it after he realized Everything Changes, the album, had no songs featuring Robbie Williams on lead vocal. Speaking to Clash in 2013, Barlow explained: "I thought, 'Right, I've got to do something quick!' So I went to see my friend, Eliot Kennedy – he's got a studio in Sheffield – and he had a little team of writers with him. I said, 'We need a song for Rob,' and so we wrote 'Everything Changes' within about an hour. We sent a car for Rob, drove him across from Stoke, and got the vocal on it. It was the last song to be delivered."
• "Everything Changes" was Take That's fourth consecutive single to top the chart in the UK, after "Pray," "Relight My Fire," and "Babe." This unprecedented run was broken by the band's next single, "Love Ain't Here Anymore," which entered the chart at #3.
• The music video was based on the visual for Kylie Minogue's cover of "Give Me Just a Little More Time," shot two years prior. Both of the videos were directed by Gregg Masuak and are set in the same New Orleans-style jazz café, with the clips coming lit in a sepia tone. Musuak also directed the videos for "Pray," "Babe," and "Sure."
• "Everything Changes" was the fifth single released from Take That's sophomore studio album of the same name. The B-side was a recorded version of the Beatles medley they frequently performed live, with Take That covering "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "A Hard Day's Night," and "She Loves You."
