Teddy Swims Stuns With “Changes” (Justin Bieber Cover) That Hits Straight to the Heart

Teddy Swims is a singer from Atlanta with a huge voice, warm tone, and a gift for turning covers into something personal. He blends soul, pop, R&B, and a touch of gospel grit. He has a loyal fan base, raw live energy, and a knack for making familiar songs feel new. The artist has also released original music, including his debut EP, Unlearning.

In this performance, he covers Justin Bieber’s “Changes” with focus and care. It is not flashy or loud. It is honest. The song is stripped down to its core, and that is why it works. The recording was handled by Lee Rouse, recorded and mixed with clarity and space, and shot by Aaron Marsh with a simple, singer-first frame that lets the voice tell the story.

Teddy Swims broke out online with soulful covers that traveled fast. The mix of tattoos, tender tone, and big vocal runs set him apart. He brings heart to pop and brings polish to soul. He holds notes like a seasoned pro, then softens at just the right time.

He has grown that early buzz into a strong catalog. Listeners can hear that growth in his original work and stay close through regular releases and live sessions. His name shows up often when people ask for singers who can really sing. This cover shows why.

This is a song about growth and patience. It asks for empathy. Teddy treats it with care. He leans into the plea at the center of the lyric and strips away any extra shine. The result is simple and strong. It sounds like a voice in a room, steady and close, asking to be heard.

He keeps the tempo relaxed. He lets silence do some of the work. He sits back in the pocket, then pushes when the line needs to rise. That push and pull creates tension, then release. It mirrors the theme of the song itself. Change is hard. Change is slow. Change can still sound beautiful

These moments reveal craft. They also show patience. He is not in a rush to impress. He lets the lines breathe and do the work.

Teddy’s style sits at the crossroads of soul and pop. “Changes” lives there too. The song asks for a singer who can sound tender and strong at the same time. It needs someone who can carry a plea without losing pride. Teddy does that with ease.

He also brings his own story to the song. Fans know him for honesty. They know him for grit. They know him for the way he honors a song while still making it his own. That respect comes through here. It is not a copy. It is a conversation with the original.

Change takes time. The song says that. The performance proves it. Teddy lets each section build. Verse to chorus, chorus to drop, the arc feels natural. The last chorus does not explode. It opens up. That choice feels true to the message. Growth is not fireworks. Growth is steady and sure.

He sings like someone who has felt that slow turn. The small cracks in the voice, the breath at the edge of a line, the near whisper in the quiet spots, all point to lived feeling. It is not drama. It is life.
