About This Track

'Change' by H.E.R. is a 2021 track from the album 'We the People (Music from the Netflix Original)'. The lyrics address civic frustration and resolve, with the speaker framing change as something demanded loudly and discussed through concrete channels, from writing to the mayor to raising issues and calling for open speech. In the intro, the repeated hook, “change, yeah, change”, turns the song into a rallying chant, before the first verse pivots into direct, public-minded engagement with power.

"Change" is a track by H.E.R., from the album We the People (Music from the Netflix Original), released 4th June 2021. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about H.E.R..

Lyrics

Change

[Intro]

Woo, yeah (change, yeah, change)

C'mon (change, change)

Change, change

[Verse 1]

Wrote a letter to the mayor, can you hear me out? (Hear me out?)

Wanna talk on all the issues that I care about

Speak free, keep the peace, when we say it loud (Say it loud)

Meeting all my people at the city council

Pay attention, so I know my rights (Know my rights)

Education's gonna change the cycle

Volunteer, I could help a life (Help a life)

Community is planting trees, recycle

[Pre-Chorus]

If I'm just one person, will my voice even stand out?

Can I make a difference if I don't even know how to change?

[Chorus]

(I don't even know how to) change

(We don't even know how to) change

(I wanna know how to) change, yeah

[Verse 2]

Information's all around (All around)

Go out and vote 'cause I know it counts

Pound the pavement and act now (Act now)

Make a statement and say it proud

Oh-oh, from the street to the Hill, join a campaign

Don't have to wait for someday just to have change

No, you're never too young to make a difference

You have the power to be an active citizen

[Pre-Chorus]

If I'm just one person, will my voice even stand out?

Can I make a difference if I don't even know how to change?

[Chorus]

(I don't even know how to) change

(We don't even know how to) change

(I wanna know how to) change, yeah

[Bridge]

One day, I'll be a leader

Believe that we the people (We the people)

It's our choice, our voices matter (Matter)

Make plans and taking action

[Chorus]

(I don't even know how to) change

(We don't even know how to) change

(I wanna know how to) change, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

If I'm just one person, will my voice even stand out?

Can I make a difference if I don't even know how to change?

[Chorus]

I don't even know how to, change

We don't even know how to, change

I wanna know how to, change, yeah

[Outro]

Woo, change, yeah

Change, change

Change, change

Change, change

Change, oh wow
