"Cool Change" is a hit song by Australian rock group Little River Band written by lead singer Glenn Shorrock. It was the second single from their sixth album, First Under the Wire. Released in August 1979, "Cool Change" did not reach the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart top 50. It was released in the United States in 1979 on the Capitol Records label and reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 10 the week of 19 January 1980.

In May 2001 "Cool Change" was selected by Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time.

The Australian soft rock group Mississippi had toured the United Kingdom (UK) in 1974 but failed to make an impact on the music scene. While in the UK, they met ex-The Masters Apprentices bass guitarist and now manager, Glenn Wheatley, who was due to return to Australia. Also in the UK was Glenn Shorrock (ex-The Twilights), who had attempted a solo career there. Mississippi returned to Australia in 1975 with Shorrock joining on lead vocals and songwriting and Wheatley serving as manager. They soon changed their name to Little River Band. Other original members were guitarist-vocalists Graeham Goble and Beeb Birtles, lead guitarist Ric Formosa, bass guitarist Roger McLachlan and drummer Derek Pellicci. They first toured the US in 1976, and had top ten hits there with "Reminiscing" (No. 3) in 1978 and "Lady" (No. 10) in 1979 from Sleeper Catcher.
