After all we've been through this year as a country and as individuals, it is time for us to focus on healing, self-love and taking action, something that the iconic group touches on throughout their new single "Change."

"As a group that has been in the industry for 20 years, we feel so lucky and grateful to have fans that still support us in everything that we do," Dru Hill shared exclusively with BET. Now, we feel like it's time to give back in a way that expresses that gratitude. This single is just the beginning."

The beautifully harmonious track opens with an audio snippet reporting on the tragic death of Freddie Gray, with the group paying an homage to his life, while also addressing the undeniable fact there needs to be "Change." They later tie in naming other victims of police brutality, weaving together an incredible message about why we need to come together to change the world and prevent future acts of senseless violence.
