Bruce Dickinson has released a dramatic new video for Change Of Heart, the reimagined version of the track from his 2025 album More Balls To Picasso. Filmed in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in September 2025, the video reunites Dickinson with directors Leo Liberti and Antoine de Montremy, who also worked on the award-winning video for Tears Of The Dragon.
Dickinson performs in an abandoned space in the heart of the city alongside guitarist Philip Naslund, while a parallel narrative explores suffering, disconnection and renewal. A child carrying William Blake’s painting The Good and Evil Angels acts as a silent observer throughout the film. The imagery reflects the tension between innocence and experience and the things adults can learn to overlook.
“When we shot a video for Tears Of The Dragon in Brazil last year, I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to also shine a light on the song Change Of Heart,” Bruce Dickinson says. “This song has always been very special to me, and with the wonderful new arrangement of it on the More Balls To Picasso album, its message and power feel even more enhanced.
“We used the William Blake painting because he devoted much of his work to the eternal tension between innocence and experience, freedom and spiritual enslavement, consciousness and alienation, and I’m very aware that my own work often deals with the same subjects.
“So having the young boy in the video, carrying that particular painting, is a very deliberate choice. The child embodies that primal awareness, capable of seeing what adults have learned to ignore.”
The new version of Change Of Heart is one of the stand-out tracks on More Balls To Picasso. The 2025 release remixed and newly mastered the original 1994 Balls To Picasso, with many parts re-recorded, presenting Dickinson’s original vision in a fresh, contemporary form for Rock and Metal fans.
