“Never Gonna Change,” acting as track 11 on the deluxe album, acts as a powerful demonstration of Sharon Van Etten’s ability to write powerful, melancholic and cinematic tracks. The song kicks off with the sounds of sweet, reverberated guitar chords, that introduces Van Etten’s strong and gorgeous vocals. As drums and ambient synths begin to dominate the soundscape, the instruments work together to create a sound that is almost as cinematic as it is mesmerizing.

The musician describes the track as being “about managing depression and anxiety in the midst of isolation,” saying that “Coping with recurring fears throughout adulthood, acknowledging that flaws, fears and triggers can’t be overcome, they are a constant part of one’s identity to learn to be at peace with.” The track was co-produced by Van Etten and Daniel Knowles. Listen to “Never Gonna Change” via YouTube below.

In July, Van Etten shared a video for her track “Headspace.” We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong follows Van Etten’s 2019 project, Remind Me Tomorrow.
