"I Changed My Mind" is a song by American R&B recording artist Keyshia Cole, released by Geffen Records on November 9, 2004 as the lead single for her debut album, The Way It Is (2005). It was written by the singer alongside John Legend and Kanye West, while the production was handled by the West, who acts as the song's hype man. Lyrically, "I Changed My Mind" is about staying focused on your goals in life and how a significant other's behavior can interfere with that.

A modest commercial success, "I Changed My Mind" peaked at number 71 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 23 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. It also reached the top ten of the UK R&B Singles chart. A remix to the song features then-incarcerated rapper Shyne; this version made its way to radio airplay. Cole first performed "I Changed My Mind" during friend and producer Kanye West's set on Usher's Truth Tour (2004). Visuals for "I Changed My Mind" were directed by Nzingha Stewart and filmed in Cole's hometown, Oakland, California.
