Change is the fifth studio album by British girl group Sugababes, released through Island Records on 1 October 2007. It was their first album to feature complete vocals by Amelle Berrabah, who joined the group following founding member Mutya Buena's departure in 2005.

Musically, Change is predominantly a pop rock and dance-pop album produced by previous collaborators Xenomania, Dallas Austin and Jony Rockstar, along with newer producers Dr. Luke, Danish production team Deekay, and Novel. The album was preceded by its lead single "About You Now" which was a major commercial success, becoming Sugababes' sixth number one single on the UK Singles Chart and their highest selling single in the country. Two other songs off the album were later released as singles the title track, and "Denial", both of which reached the top twenty in the UK; the latter was also commercially successful in mainland Europe. Another track, "My Love is Pink", was the only promotional single off the album. Commercially, Change debuted atop of the UK Albums Chart, where it became the band's second number one album, and was eventually certified platinum by the BPI for selling 300,000 units in the country. [2] Elsewhere, it reached the top ten in Estonia and Ireland. In France, the album was adapted as the group's first greatest hits compilation.[3]

Change would receive mixed to positive reviews, with several critics applauding tracks off the album for their catchiness and complimenting its production, while others called it a "mixed bag". To promote the album, Sugababes' would perform tracks off the album at talk shows and embarked on the Change Tour in 2008.
