"Them Changes" is a song by American musician Thundercat. It was first released on June 18, 2015, as a single from his EP The Beyond / Where the Giants Roam.[1][4] The track, which Thundercat co-wrote with producer Flying Lotus, was later included on Thundercat's full-length album Drunk, released on February 24, 2017.[6]
A funk and psychedelic jazz song with elements of pop and R&B, "Them Changes" features a sampled beat from the 1977 song "Footsteps in the Dark" by the Isley Brothers.[5] "Them Changes" was accompanied by a music video directed by Carlos López Estrada.[7][8][9] In October 2022, after a sped-up remix of the song went viral on TikTok, an official "Sped Up" version of the song was released on digital platforms.[10]
