"I Can Change" is the fourth single by American singer-songwriter Brandon Flowers from his second studio album, ''The Desired Effect''.

Coincidentally, Flowers later learned that Axwell and Ingrosso previously sampled "Smalltown Boy" for their 2006 single " Tell Me Why". "I Can Change" features a vocal recording by Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys, taken via a cell phone answering machine. Flowers has said of the recording: "We just talked about it, and we j ...
