In an outline by director Mike Sloat, Sloat detailed that the planned music video for "Everything Changes" would use clips from the 1993 film Dazed and Confused and Almost Famous. When the music video was released in June 2006, guitarist Mike Mushok explained that the video for "Everything Changes" was about finishing high school and the changes that would come after graduation.
In a follow-up MTV interview, Aaron Lewis highlighted that he rarely saw the music video for "Everything Changes" aired on TV. Due to the lack of airplay for the music video, Lewis told MTV "I think nobody cares [about Staind] anymore. No one wants to see videos from us anymore. We're not the hip flavor of the moment"
