Change (In the House of Flies)

"Change (In the House of Flies)" often referred to as "Change", is a song by the American alternative metal band Deftones, released on May 16, 2000, by Maverick Records as the first single from their third studio album, White Pony (2000). Written collaboratively by the band, the song originated from an unstructured session and features contributions from all members. The recording marked a shift in the band's dynamic, with the lead vocalist Chino Moreno contributing guitar parts alongside the guitarist Stephen Carpenter.

"Change" has been described as alternative metal, alternative rock, nu metal, shoegaze, and art rock. It features a slow-building arrangement, ambient samples, and abstract lyrics, and has been interpreted by critics as addressing themes such as transformation, emotional disintegration, or voyeurism. The song became the band's most commercially successful single in the United States, peaking at number three on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart and number nine on the Mainstream Rock chart.

Critics have widely praised "Change", with several outlets ranking it among the best songs in Deftones' discography. The music video, directed by Liz Friedlander, depicts the band performing at a party with a disaffected tone.
