"I Don't Want to Change You" arrived with My Favourite Faded Fantasy, Damien Rice's third album, which came out in Ireland on 31 October 2014, almost eight years after 9. The Irish songwriter wrote and arranged it himself, sings it, plays acoustic guitar and piano, and produced it with Rick Rubin, who oversaw the whole record.

The credits read like a small chamber band gathered around him: Bryndís Halla Gylfadóttir on cello, Cora Venus Lunny on violin, Zac Rae on piano, Wurlitzer and Hammond organ, Joel Shearer on electric guitar, Shahzad Ismaily on bass and Earl Harvin on drums and tambourine, while Alex Somers adds harp and sampler and mixed the track.
