"Seasons Change" is a pop–R&B song written and produced by Lewis Martineé for the American girl group Exposé's debut album, Exposure (1987). It was the group's fifth single released. In a Songfacts interview with Martineé, he explained: "'Seasons Change' is about growing old with someone, spending your life with someone. 'Seasons change, I'll sacrifice tomorrow to have you here today.' It's about being with that person forever. That was one of my favorite songs that I've ever written." It is the group's biggest hit to date. Angie Vollaro of fellow Lewis A. Martineé group Sequal lent background vocals to this song; Steve Grove on saxophone.
Reception Released at the end of 1987 as the album's fifth single, the ballad remains the group's biggest hit to date, as it went to number one on the Adult Contemporary chart and topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for one week on February 20, 1988. The single reached number 97 in the United Kingdom, and number 13 in Canada.
