🎵 About the Song:

"Change The World" was released in July 1996 and became one of Eric Clapton's most successful pop crossovers . The song features Clapton on acoustic guitar throughout, with that signature clean tone and tasteful phrasing . Interestingly, the first two lines Clapton plays on acoustic guitar are quotes from the beginning of "Mannish Boy" by Muddy Waters—a subtle nod to his blues roots even in this pop context .

The recording session brought together an impressive lineup including Ricky Lawson on drums, Nathan East on bass, and a full ensemble that included percussion by Sheila E. . Lawson's drumming on this track is a masterclass in tasteful, supportive playing—never overpowering, always serving the song.

At the 1997 Grammy Awards, Clapton and Babyface performed the song together, and it remains one of the most memorable moments in Grammy history .
