"Life Changes" for Rhett
Monday, April 9, 2018 – Thomas Rhett announced his autobiographical song "Life Changes," the title-track from his album, as his next single.

It's definitely the most personal song I've ever written, but we all go through a lot in life whatever the story is, so I think the sentiment is something a lot of people can relate to."
