It features American country singer Hardy,[1] who co-wrote the track along with Rodney Clawson, Corey Crowder, and Jordan Schmidt.

[2][3] Smith remarked that while he was in the studio in Nashville, fellow Joey Moi-collaborators Florida Georgia Line were working on an album that Hardy had 11 co-writes on.

I cut a few songs of his in the past but getting a sneak peek at what he was doing as an artist, a lot of his rock-influenced in-your-face country music resonated with me because it’s kind of my jam.

[2] Smith also said the track "is a song [Hardy] had kicking around and I tried the verses a little bit, but Michael wrote those parts and they needed the twang that only he can do".

[2] "Some Things Never Change" reached a peak of #1 on the Billboard Canada Country chart dated February 6, 2021,[4] marking Smith's sixth consecutive Number One and eleventh overall.
