One of the most amazing things about music is its ability to make us feel. It’s a perfect tool to reflect on experiences and when artists open themselves up, the impact is even greater. Calum Scott is known for doing just that and returns with another heartbreaking new ballad titled ‘If You Ever Change Your Mind’.
The song is a bittersweet but uplifting reflection on a painful relationship and the third song that Calum has shared from his highly anticipated sophomore album which is set for release later this year.
Calum looks back on a broken romance with both regret and renewed perspective. Co-written by Calum, “If You Ever Change Your Mind” ultimately builds an irresistible tension between his neverending affection and a newly heightened sense of self-worth.
“Five years ago, I fell in love so hard that ever since we parted ways, there has been an invisible tether between us, sometimes existing silently, other times pulling on me like a rope attached to my chest,” Calum says. “I got together with Mozella and Hayley Warner in LA to write this one and had the pleasure of working with the legend, Greg Kurstin on track and vocals. I really enjoyed stepping into a new sound with Greg on this song – I feel we struck the balance of lyrics that tell the story of heartbreak and conflict but maintain a hopeful and reminiscent sound that makes this song feel so good!
Directed by Harry Law, the video for “If You Ever Change Your Mind” beautifully dramatizes the song’s narrative of longing and conflicted emotion. To that end, the visual centers on an estranged couple engaged in an intense push-and-pull — an element perfectly captured in the video’s meditative and endlessly mesmerizing choreography.
