Skyler Stonestreet is no stranger to pop success. Known already as a goto hitmaker for artists like Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, and many more, Skyler is ready to stun the world with her new single "Things Changed." This driving, hook-laden track was written by Skyler, Hayley Gene Penner, and Nick Monson, and follows the release of debut single "Cliff Drive" which recently catapulted The Sunshine State into mainstream consciousness for the new year.

Stonestreet had previously put out a slew of singles under her own name, with critical acclaim from the likes of PAPER, Billboard, Pop Dust, and Ones To Watch. "Things Changed" pairs a choppy guitar track with shades of twinkling alt-pop, as Skyler's radiant vocals take center stage. Stonestreet explores her past and gives thanks for the way things turned out, as she delivers a message that is both warning and reconciliation - sometimes, the worst thing that can happen is nothing. "Things Changed" is an upbeat, no-holds-barred anthem for coming to terms with a world that is constantly in flux.

Things changed
You stayed
Pawning
Your mom’s rings
Blaming
Something
Belonging
To nothing

"Things Changed" is about where I was in my life and where I could have gone. It’s about who I was with and where they ended up. It’s about the different roads you can take and the ones you choose to leave behind. — Skyler Stonestreet
