This needed a bridge or something because, as it is, it just plods along.

This is such a great song. I hope it would go to #1 based on what it's for. Yet too many people are selfish and don't feel the need to help others , and use the excuse the lyrics are too cheesy . If I could download it a million times I would. Most chharity singles don't do well in America which I just don't get why. Because you can donate more directly to a charity rather than buying the song? The song is nice, good to see Christina keeping it more vocally simple.

She's up to 49 now. Just below Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me"?? Why is that on there in 2016??? I had to google to see if he had died or something lol There are a lot of 69¢ singles on iTunes right now - tons of big hits dating back into other decades. The chart is full of them right now. I'm glad xtina put this out there in the world.

Just because this cause is important to you, doesn't mean it resonates with everyone. People donate to causes that are meaningful to them. It's 'charity' not an obligation. Regarding this single - good for Xtina contributing to a cause she cares about and reminding people that a great voice can touch people is an emotional way. Hope her knew project delivers. She's far too talented to have rocky commercial track record

Millions of Americans are extremely generous donating their time and money to charitable causes; a sweeping generalization is just unnecessary. I love me some Christina, but she's not half the star she used to be, and I'm sure she didn't release this with sales/charts or anything of that sort in mind. I'm really stoked to see Christina released something in her wheelhouse to lend a hand to those who are hurting from this tragedy. As someone who believes in the power and healing of music, I respect Christina even more for releasing a song like this, in a time when positivity and love is needed more than ever. If she feels she can provide comfort in some way to her fans and/or the LBGT community, than I say more power to her.

No, the song was recently put on sale for 69 cents along with a long list of other former hits that have also returned to the higher regions of the iTunes chart.

Considering it was written, recorded and produced in a week and what it's for, I think it's really nice and did the job very well :) #20 on iTunes

Her voice on the chorus is divine. So sweet and simple. While this isn't necessarily a Beautiful or LMU caliber song, I definitely like this lane for her. Normally I would agree, but I wouldn't say so this time since it looks like some proceeds are going to the victims? All of the proceeds. It's 85 cents from every download, but probably the only reason they aren't giving more is because of "overhead" (read: Apple not giving up their cut).

It's now been confirmed this was already written and recorded months ago. That was obvious. She hashtagged "Change" the day of the shooting. Its nice of her to give some of the proceeds to the victim's families, though.

Kind of strange that Christina is number 1 on iTunes in a few countries but not in the USA.

Cute song.
Vocally it's wonderful, like really really good. Not really my thing though.

I love this more with each listen, the emotion in the vocals is spine-tingling.
Awesome to see her smashing internationally; those fans always come through for Christina.
I actually liked most of the last two albums, but songs like "Change" are the reason why I've been a gigantic Christina supporter over the years. When she gets it "right," she's divine.

CNN aired a touching video montage of the 49 victims featuring the song.
