High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Change" is a song performed by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Swift self-penned the song and co-produced it alongside Nathan Chapman. The song was released on August 8, 2008, as a promotional single from Swift`s second studio album, Fearless (2008), with all proceeds being donated to the United States Olympic team. "Change" was written about Swift`s hopes and aspirations in regards to succeeding, although being signed to the smallest record label in Nashville, Tennessee. The track was later chosen as one of the themes for the 2008 Summer Olympics and was eventually included on the AT T Team USA Soundtrack. "Change" is musically pop rock and uses divergent string instruments. Lyrically, it speaks of overcoming obstacles and achieving victory.
