In his recent musical outputs, Thomas Rhett has gotten nostalgic and fallen in love and stayed there. Now, he's getting autobiographical on his new track "Life Changes." It's the title track from off of his forthcoming album and it's brimming with all of the positivity that this world needs right now.

The song comes complete with an earworm of an opening riff and an upbeat, persistent backbeat that grab you within its opening seconds. It's as romantic as fans may have come to expect from Thomas Rhett and his big-hearted songwriting chops, too. Albeit, it's not all just about the typical relationship. Rather, he's looking back on his own life.
The most adorable moment of the entire song is its bridge. On it, he gets candid about him and his wife Lauren's joy over simultaneously bringing their adopted daughter Willa Gray to the States and finding out Lauren was pregnant. It culminates into a moving end for a song that begins with a pretty normal run through Rhett's college years.

Overall, "Life Changes" is perhaps everything we could've hoped it would be and then some. Thomas Rhett has really hit it out of the park with reminding us to appreciate every moment for what it is. Everything in life is interconnected, and looking back on the road traveled so far can leave you awestruck, but smiling. "Life Changes" is that thought condensed into a sunny three minutes and ten seconds.
Thomas Rhett's "Life Changes" Lyrics
Wakin' up in my college dorm
Yeah, my life it was pretty normal
Lookin' for a date to the spring formal
Wasn't worried 'bout nothin' else, no
Majorin' in Undecided
Notebook full of bad songs I was writin'
Never dreamed anybody else would like 'em
Now they're sittin' on a Walmart shelf
Ain't it funny how life changes
You wake up, ain't nothin' the same
And life changes
You can't stop it, just hop on a train
And you never know what's gonna happen
You make your plans and your hear God laughin'
Life changes
And I wouldn't change it for the world
This world, oh no
And I wouldn't change it for the world
The world, oh no
I bought a ring and she said, "I do"
But everybody else said, man, you're 22
What you tryna prove?
Hey, why don't you wait?
'Cause I've been waitin' on her
Since the second grade, yeah
And now she got her own set of fans
Got a blue check mark by her Instagram
And I wrote a little song about holdin' her hand
And now everybody wanna die happy, man
Ain't it funny how life changes
You wake up, ain't nothin' the same
And life changes
You can't stop it, just hop on a train
And you never know what's gonna happen
You make your plans and your hear God laughin'
Life changes (yes it does)
And I wouldn't change it for the world
This world, oh no
And I wouldn't change it for the world
The world, oh no
I remember the day
I told my daddy and mamma
You're gonna have a grandkid, yup
From Uganda
That's right, we're adopting
And she is the cutest little girl
That you ever seen
Well, I was wrappin' my head around bein' a dad
A big wrench got thrown
in the plans we thought we had
Now Lauren's showin'; got one on the way
Yeah that's two under 2
Hey, what can I say
Ain't it funny how life changes
You wake up, ain't nothin' the same
And life changes
You can't stop it, just hop on a train
And you never know what's gonna happen
You make your plans and your hear God laughin'
Life changes (Yes, it does)
And I wouldn't change it for the world
This world, oh no
And I wouldn't change it for the world
The world, oh no
The world
The world
The world
The world
