She began her singing career at the age of eight on Australian radio, and during this time she entered and won several talent quests. By the age of 15 she had her first hit record in Australia, with the song "You Made Me What I Am", and she won a "Best Female Vocalist" award. She quickly became a well known celebrity on Australian television, but she felt her career was limited if she remained in Australia. She travelled to the United Kingdom and performed with such groups as Herman's Hermits, The Hollies and the Bee Gees. Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees wrote "The Love Of A Woman" for her, and her recording became a hit in some European countries.
By the mid 1970s she had changed her name to Samantha Sang, and had moved to the United States where she renewed her acquaintance with the Bee Gees. The Gibb brothers wrote another song for her, which coincided with their huge level of popularity, and the single "Emotion" (with back-up vocals by the Bee Gees) became a major hit worldwide. It reached number 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1978, and earned Sang a platinum record.
Determined to succeed on her own merits, she would not record another Gibb song to capitalise on her success, and chose a disco song, "You Keep Me Dancing" as her next single release. The song did not become a hit, stalling at number 57 in the U.S., and her career faltered.
In 2004, and residing again in Melbourne, Sang announced that she would return to live performing, and that her three albums would be released for the first time on CD.
Change of Heart
Samantha Sang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All those plans we had made for tomorrow they looked so bright
And I understand all the reasons you gave me for leaving
But that doesn’t help when I’m sleeping alone each night
So if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it’s not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do
I could find someone more than willing to be your replacement
But there’s no one else who can move me the way you do
So for now goodbye but if ever you find you still love me
You just call my name and I’ll always be here for you
So if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it’s not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do
Nothing you can ever do
Can change the things I know deep in my heart
So I got to make you understand before I go sooner or later
Don’t when I’m going to get you back in my arms again
So if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it’s not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

The lyrics of Samantha Sang's song "Change of Heart" talk about the pain of a breakup and the hope that the love between the two people involved will be rekindled one day. The singer remembers the plans and promises they made with their partner for their future together but can't help feeling lonely now that they are apart. They understand the reasons for the breakup but still hold onto the possibility that their love can be revived.
The singer tries to move on by finding someone else but realizes that no one can replace the way their partner made them feel. They say goodbye for now, but they leave the door open for their ex to come back to them if they still love them, and they promise to always be there for them.
The song is a message of hope that even when things seem irreparable, love can conquer all and bring people back together if they believe in its power. It's a reminder that even if we can't control the actions of others, we can always hold onto the hope that things will work out in the end.

I can still recall when we said that our love was forever
I remember the time when we promised each other that our love would last forever
All those plans we had made for tomorrow they looked so bright
We had made so many plans for the future and they all seemed so promising
And I understand all the reasons you gave me for leaving
I comprehend the explanations you provided me when you left
But that doesn’t help when I’m sleeping alone each night
However, those reasons don't alleviate the sadness I feel when I am alone in bed every night
So if you ever have a change of heart
In case you ever regret leaving me
Just remember it’s not too late to start
Keep in mind that we can still turn our relationship around
If you still believe in what love can do
If you still have faith in the power of love
I could find someone more than willing to be your replacement
I could easily find someone who is ready to take your place
But there’s no one else who can move me the way you do
But no one else can touch my heart the way you do
So for now goodbye but if ever you find you still love me
So, for now, I say goodbye but if you ever realize that you still love me
You just call my name and I’ll always be here for you
Just call out my name and I'll always be there for you
Nothing you can ever do
There is nothing you can do
Can change the things I know deep in my heart
That can change the things that I know deeply in my heart
So, I got to make you understand before I go sooner or later
So I need to make you comprehend before I leave, sooner or later
Don’t know when I’m going to get you back in my arms again
I don't know when I will be able to hold you in my arms again
