Them Changes

Brainfeeder released it as a single on June 18, 2015, four days before the EP; it is also track 15 of Drunk (2017). Flying Lotus and Thundercat produced it, with Kamasi Washington on saxophone, Dennis Hamm on keyboards, and the beat sampled from the Isley Brothers' "Footsteps in the Dark" (1977), so the Isleys are credited as writers. Song Exploder's episode 45 (July 30, 2015) has Thundercat breaking it down, with footnotes citing the Isley sample, Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day" and a Moogerfooger envelope filter. We found no recording studio or date.

Atwood Magazine reads it as a heartbreak narrative in which he personifies his missing heart at a crime scene, with a playful bass against darker lyrics, but that is the writer's interpretation; we found no statement from him on its meaning. Carlos Lopez Estrada directed the video, published around July 22, 2015, with a sad samurai, sword fights and surreal shopping channels; we hold the official video and a second upload we could not identify. An October 2022 sped-up version went viral on TikTok and the song peaked at 19 on Billboard's Hot R&B Songs that year. Setlist.fm counts 333 performances among 630 setlists, his most played song, and Ariana Grande joined him for it at the virtual Adult Swim Festival on November 13, 2020. Buddy Miles's unrelated "Them Changes" (1970) is a different song.
