Lyrics

(Ab)Go ing out to night, chang es in to some thing red.

Her moth er does n’t like that kind of dress, (Cm7)ev ’ry thing she nev er had she’s show ing off.

(Ab)Driv ing too fast, moon is break ing through her hair, she’s head ing for some thing that she won’t for get.

(Cm7)Hav ing no re grets is all that she real ly wants.

We’re on ly get ting old er, ba by, and I’ve been think ing a bout it late ly;

does it ev er drive you cra zy (Ab)just how (Ab)fast the night chang es?

Ev ’ry thing that you’ve (Eb)ev er dreamed of

dis ap pear ing (Eb)when you wake up.

But there’s noth ing to be a fraid of, (Ab)e ven (Ab)when the night chang es,

it will nev er change

me and you.

(Ab)Chas ing her to night, doubts are run nin’ round her head.

He’s wait ing, hides be hind a cig a rette.

(Cm7)Heart is beat ing loud, she does n’t want it to stop.

(Ab)Mov ing too fast, moon is light ing up her skin.

She’s fall ing, does n’t e ven know it yet.

(Cm7)Hav ing no re grets is all that she real ly wants.

We’re on ly get ting old er, ba by, and I’ve been think ing a bout it late ly;

does it ev er drive you cra zy (Ab)just how (Ab)fast the night chang es?

Ev ’ry thing that you’ve (Eb)ev er dreamed of

dis ap pear ing (Eb)when you wake up.

But there’s noth ing to be a fraid of, (Ab)e ven (Ab)when the night chang es,

it will nev er change

me and you.

(Bb)Go ing out to night, chang es in to some thing red, her moth er does n’t like that kind of dress, re (Dm7)minds her of a miss ing piece of in no cence she lost.

We’re on ly get ting old er, ba by, and I’ve been think ing a bout it late ly;

does it ev er drive you cra zy (Bb)just how (Bb)fast the night chang es?

Ev ’ry thing that you’ve (F)ev er dreamed of

dis ap pear ing (F)when you wake up.

But there’s noth ing to be a fraid of, (Bb)e ven (Bb)when the night (Gm7)chang es,

it will nev er change, ba by,

it will nev er change, ba by,

it will nev er change

me and you.

About “Night Changes”

Can I sing "Night Changes" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "Night Changes" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in Ab, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Night Changes" by One Direction in?
The backing track is in Ab at 118 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Night Changes" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Night Changes"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Night Changes", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Night Changes" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Night Changes"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Night Changes"?
"Night Changes" was originally performed by One Direction. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by One Direction are available?

Is there a karaoke version of "Night Changes" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Night Changes" by One Direction. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Night Changes" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Ab, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Night Changes" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
