"Some Things Never Change" is a song recorded by Canadian country music singer Dallas Smith. It features American country singer Hardy,[1] who co-wrote the track along with Rodney Clawson, Corey Crowder, and Jordan Schmidt. The song was released to radio by 604 Records as the sixth single from Smith's 2020 album Timeless.[2][3]

Background[edit]

Smith remarked that while he was in the studio in Nashville, fellow Joey Moi-collaborators Florida Georgia Line were working on an album that Hardy had 11 co-writes on. Smith then stated "I watched him emerge as an artist. I cut a few songs of his in the past but getting a sneak peek at what he was doing as an artist, a lot of his rock-influenced in-your-face country music resonated with me because it’s kind of my jam. I love that stuff and he and I just kind of clicked".[2] Smith also said the track "is a song [Hardy] had kicking around and I tried the verses a little bit, but Michael wrote those parts and they needed the twang that only he can do".[2]
