"Can't Change Me" is the first single released from Chris Cornell's debut solo album, Euphoria Morning (1999).
[6] Chris Cornell told MTV News that students of Soundgarden's music can find the genesis of "Can't Change Me" in some of the band's hits, such as "Blow Up the Outside World" and "Fell on Black Days".
[2] About the meaning of the lyrics, Cornell told MTV's Making the Video: It was written in the middle of a long songwriting period that I had for the record.
It's kind of more of a sad discovery that this singer is involved with this person that has amazing powers to help people and change things positively, and he's realizing that none of it is really rubbing off on him.
[7]"Can't Change Me" was released in early 1999 and turned out to be the biggest hit from the album, achieving strong chart positions.
