“Change of Heart” is the second single released by American singer Cyndi Lauper from her second album, True Colors in November 11, 1986. The single went gold in the US and peaked at No. 3 in the Billboard Hot 100. The song has become a fan favorite and Lauper still often performs it. Lauper re-recorded it acoustically, and her official site later made it available free as a digital download.[citation needed]
Popular remixes by Shep Pettibone were also released. A music video was filmed in Trafalgar Square in London. It features Lauper and her band performing the song in front of a large group of people.
The song features backing vocals by The Bangles.
