"I Changed My Mind" is the debut single from American R&B singer, Keyshia Cole from her platinum debut album, "The Way It Is". The song was mildly successful, peaking at #71 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #23 on the R&B charts. There was a remix to the song that featured rapper Shyne, who was incarcerated. This version made its way to radio airplay format, while the video version does not have Shyne in it. The song samples "Get Out of My Life, Woman" by Solomon Burke.

ong information

Keyshia Cole wrote the song, and it was produced by producer/rapper Kanye West. The song also has background vocals by the at-the-time rising star John Legend. As are most of her songs, Keyshia wrote this about an ex-boyfriend. As her boyfriend has another girl on the side, he does not pay attention to Cole. She finds out about her, and "changes her mind", that she doesn't want to be with him anymore. She than goes on in the bridge, singing to him "I don't care if you come back to me on you knees, I just don't love you no more."

Music video

The music video was shot in Cole's hometown, Oakland, California, on June 30 2004 and July 1 2004, and in the beginning the viewer can see various screenshots of different places in the Bay Area. Cole has a boyfriend who she loves, but later finds out that he is cheating on her. She gets very upset and confronts him. She leaves him, and is very happy that she left him. The video features Kanye West and shows Shyne's record "More or Less". It was first seen as the "New Joint of the Week" on BET's 106 & Park on August 13, 2004.

Chart performance

"I Changed My Mind" didn't perform as well as it was expected to on the charts. It debuted on the Hot 100 at an impressive #72, which is the highest debut of all her singles. As a CD single release, it achieved "greatest retail gainer" status for two weeks. The song lingered in the bottom quarter of the Hot 100 for 2 months, peaking at #71.
