"Seasons Change" is a pop–R&B song written and produced by Lewis Martineé for the American girl group Exposé's debut album, Exposure (1987). It was the group's fifth single released. The song's lyrics describe relationships fading away due to the changes brought about by time (on both people and events). It is the group's biggest hit to date. Angie Vollaro of fellow Lewis A. Martineé group Sequal lent background vocals to this song. Expose was an 80's rarity as one of the only female vocal groups to hit #1. (Bananarama being the other group) The music video features the group reminiscing in a beach house they are closing down for the summer.

Jeanette Jurado has an appealingly raw and sentimental R&B delivery...I like the whole wistful-synthpop aesthetic a lot better than the somnambulant orchestral churn that Exposé's Arista labelmate Whitney Houston was using...
