Hi
Efe, I noticed this on the PP2 article as well. The song is included on the special edition of the soundtrack for purchase, but not the standard one. The PP2 article does not speak of this release for some reason. I've sourced this in the "Live performances and usage in media" section. CoolMarc09:48, 22 September 2015 (UTC)reply
I will be going through each of the criteria below, in order. I reserve the right to return to earlier comments or sections and revise or add to them until the review is finished. Unless otherwise indicated, maintain existing wikilinks and formatting. The review process should take about a week.

Give names of The Messengers and link to individuals as writers not to the group/producers (see later).
If this song is based on one originally written by Raja Kumari (and give her birth name) then that individual should be listed first.21:54, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
Azalea's birth name is required for song writing credits.21:54, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
With all due respect, the way they are now credited now is the way they are specifically credited in the album liner notes. I don't think it is up to us to choose how they should be credited. CoolMarc18:44, 3 February 2016 (UTC)reply
Criterion 1a has "the prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct". The names given by ASCAP or APRA for song writers are more reliably correct than those given in any liner notes. To rephrase Tom Cruise's Jerry Maguire "who gets the money?", the song's writers want to be paid under the names given in its registration not according to liner notes. In any case, in the article, you have a bit each way by referring to The Messengers as the song's co-writers in the infobox (and Lead) and then specifically mention Nasri Atwek as its co-composer and Adam Messinger being involved in the songwriting process in the main text. You weave a similar wave of inaccuracy with T.I. (Lead) vs Clifford "Tip" Harris (infobox). Clearly the liner notes don't tell the full story: the infobox/Lead should reflect the most reliable source(s) possible.

I'm unaware of her mixtape stuff, but it was her first single to feature her actually singing a melody/holding a note and not only rapping. She herself, and critics have noted this. You can hear the difference in the chorus. CoolMarc18:44, 3 February 2016 (UTC)reply
Then you need to differentiate better between singing melodically and singing rap.23:05, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
Add a hard space between top and 10 for first top 10. (Check wikicode) Likewise for further similar uses.
Done. Thanks for the tip.
Delete where it peaked at number 10 This is redundant, given previous part of sentence.
Done.
Not sure about the Aus gold cert, but will address this issue later.
Relevance of the quote? Wasn't the single released seven months ahead of the album? Is the album version significantly different from the single version? Explain how the quote relates to this specific song.
As mentioned above. Azalea was yet to release a single that featured her singing until "Change Your Life". It was made the song unique, and a big deal for Azalea, a number of publications discussed this feature as well I recall. CoolMarc19:10, 3 February 2016 (UTC)reply
But the quote opens with "I wanted to leave something for the album,". If this single has been released seven months ahead of the album then how has she left "something for the album"? Hasn't she already done the melodic singing well before the album how is this giving "something new" for it?

Careful of overuse of terms: song, Azalea, collaborate
As per Lead explain who Kumari is. Furthermore, did the recorded demo version already have lyrics before it was offered to Azalea? This may be dealt with in Composition.
I've added "Indian-American songwriter" with a source. According to Kumari, Azalea wrote new verses after the demo was played to her management. CoolMarc19:10, 3 February 2016 (UTC)reply
Ahem, I know who she is. I meant tell the casual reader, since she does not have a separate wp entry: add something like , a Canadian singer-songwriter, after her first mention in the main text. You don't need to provide a citation her nationality or occupation for this article.

Rephrase the sentences starting with "Azalea's verses were written" and ending at "visitors or interruptions." Currently reads as a contradiction: she wrote in one place in Wales (with T.I.) vs she wrote in another place in isolation. This needs to be clarified.
For concision, trim believed the isolation was needed because she felt she wrote
Explain "The song was inspired by a personal experience". Remember that Kumari had already written the song as a demo and presumably Kumari didn't write it about Azalea's personal experiences. If you're talking about the later verses written by Azalea then this needs to be specified.
Expression, use of reflexive pronoun to begin a relationship with her > to begin a relationship with herself
Concision: The experience in turn made Azalea want > Consequently she wanted
Previous collaborations on Glory: where's "Millionaire Misfits"?
Time-related: throughout her career > through her early career I believe Azalea and T.I are estranged, since September 2015, e.g.
here. Likewise reword the following sentence: the friendship seems ended.
¶3: I don't believe your distinction between "singing" and "rapping" is accessible to the average reader. I believe that rapping, as used in hip-hop songs or by rappers, is a sub-category of singing. You seem to be using a very narrow definition of "singing" which has it meaning the vocals used in popular music melodies. This needs to be clarified as it relates to the claim in the Lead (mentioned above).

Lead-in sentence has a hefty claim. The album has a Metacritic rating of mixed or average (see
here). Some negative or mixed reviews of the album may provide non-favourable reviews of the track or related material.
Consider NME review,
here. You've misquoted Andrews who says "Essentially, The New Classic is an extended version of 'Change Your Life''s class-mobility fantasy, privileging diamonds ['Fuck Love'] and blonde ambition ['Impossible Is Nothing'] over wit, personality and lyrical prowess." This is a negative commentary on the album and on "Change Your Life", specifically. Andrews does not feel the track showcases "her wit, personality or lyrical prowess" but rather that her work showcases her "class-mobility fantasy, privileging diamonds and blonde ambition" to the detriment of those attributes.

Rephrase Empire named it as, the following quote is not the naming of anything.
Start with the UK Singles Chart and No. 10 placement using the Official Charts Company ref; before giving analysis of charting via Music Week. (Note: add hard space between No. and 10. Likewise for similar, elsewhere).
AUS certified gold requires an ARIA ref not SBS News ref. If you can't find an ARIA ref, the claim will need to be removed per Criterion #2. Considering that it reached No. 44, stayed in the top 50 for only that one week; it is unlikely to have reached gold status unless in stayed in the top 100 for a long time.

This whole section seems unduly large for an article which should be primarily about a song itself.
Background and development
Image caption, add Las Vegas (not wikilinked)
Delink common terms: Las Vegas, showgirls (it goes to the film of that name, which is not applicable here)
Overused terms: video, Azalea, showgirls, film, Nomi
Delete latter part of the clause: the idea of having "a big show"for the "Change Your Life" music video Its redundant, we know the context from earlier in same ¶.
Check usage of "past-time" and "where" in "She recalled a past-time where" Do you mean "She recalled a time passed when"?
What is Cheetah's, even though it has a wL, a brief description is warranted.
Missing a word: inspired the film's
Update "to address recent criticism of her small breasts" According to a
Vogue report she had undergone breast augmentation in December 2014. How does her effort at "female empowerment" stand a year or so later?
Given her championing of "women who have smaller breasts" was there any subsequent social media back lash when Azalaea had breast augmentation about a year later?
I will be checking all the references and each comment below is under their number as they existed at
this time. The order in the article may change from this numbering as refs get moved, added or deleted. Newspapers, journals and other works are generally italicised but publishers are not. Use dmy dates for date, archive date and retrieved date. Every effort should be made to identify author(s).

Ref format is good, content verified.
Author of source is named (albeit, seems to be a nickname). Songwriters are according to Raja Kumari: not an independent source. Only acknowledges: Kumari (self), Atweh, Longomba and Azalea. No mention of Harris (aka T.I.), Messinger or Sims. You'll need a better ref for the song's writers try an ASCAP or APRA title search.
Catalogue number appears to be for UK version of album. Is there a reliable on-line version? Content can not be checked/verified by this reviewer.
Content at b not supported. She says "That's when I wrote most of the songs. 'Rolex', 'Work', 'Change Your Life', those were all done then." They were written first but it does not mean they were recorded before other tracks.

Rephrase Empire named it as, the following quote is not the naming of anything.
Start with the UK Singles Chart and No. 10 placement using the Official Charts Company ref; before giving analysis of charting via Music Week. (Note: add hard space between No. and 10. Likewise for similar, elsewhere).
AUS certified gold requires an ARIA ref not SBS News ref. If you can't find an ARIA ref, the claim will need to be removed per Criterion #2. Considering that it reached No. 44, stayed in the top 50 for only that one week; it is unlikely to have reached gold status unless in stayed in the top 100 for a long time.

This whole section seems unduly large for an article which should be primarily about a song itself.
Background and development
Image caption, add Las Vegas (not wikilinked)
Delink common terms: Las Vegas, showgirls (it goes to the film of that name, which is not applicable here)
Overused terms: video, Azalea, showgirls, film, Nomi
Delete latter part of the clause: the idea of having "a big show"for the "Change Your Life" music video Its redundant, we know the context from earlier in same ¶.
Check usage of "past-time" and "where" in "She recalled a past-time where" Do you mean "She recalled a time passed when"?
What is Cheetah's, even though it has a wL, a brief description is warranted.
Missing a word: inspired the film's
Update "to address recent criticism of her small breasts" According to a
Vogue report she had undergone breast augmentation in December 2014. How does her effort at "female empowerment" stand a year or so later?
Given her championing of "women who have smaller breasts" was there any subsequent social media back lash when Azalaea had breast augmentation about a year later?
I will be checking all the references and each comment below is under their number as they existed at
this time. The order in the article may change from this numbering as refs get moved, added or deleted. Newspapers, journals and other works are generally italicised but publishers are not. Use dmy dates for date, archive date and retrieved date. Every effort should be made to identify author(s).

Ref format is good, content verified.
Author of source is named (albeit, seems to be a nickname). Songwriters are according to Raja Kumari: not an independent source. Only acknowledges: Kumari (self), Atweh, Longomba and Azalea. No mention of Harris (aka T.I.), Messinger or Sims. You'll need a better ref for the song's writers try an ASCAP or APRA title search.
Catalogue number appears to be for UK version of album. Is there a reliable on-line version? Content can not be checked/verified by this reviewer.
Content at b not supported. She says "That's when I wrote most of the songs. 'Rolex', 'Work', 'Change Your Life', those were all done then." They were written first but it does not mean they were recorded before other tracks.

Fix author link per |last=McGuire|first=Michaela|authorlink=Michaela McGuire. Exact location in Wales is not specified here.
MoS title, per One from the Archives: The Interview: Iggy Azalea. Exact Welsh location is not specified.
Can't be verified by this reviewer.
MoS title with, give interviewer's full name and wikilink to his article. At b interviewer should be mentioned.
Dead link? Content not verifiable. Also fix title per MoS. However see entry below for ref [13] use a slightly different url.23:40, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
Direct quotes from the video of the interview will each require a time value to help find them. Content verified.
MoS title: italics for The New Classic. Content supported.
MoS title. Where did you find author name? In fact, this report is a summary by XXL staff of an earlier one (see
here probably the one for ref [9] above?). The cited quote was made in that earlier interview by Diep. Use the original interview, giving credit to the original author.

MoS title: as an EP, Change Your Life, should be in italics, here. Content verified.
MoS title: hyphen > dash. Content verified.
Add "dance" to main text ahead of "synth pop". Content verified.
MoS title. Should be used at end of previous sentence. Does not verify content at a, does at b.
MoS title. Content verified at a. I have a big problems with its use at b, as indicated above. I believe the meaning has been reversed in your usage such that Richardson Andrews is being misquoted.
MoS title. Content verified.
MoS title. Shift tab at a to earlier in the sentence, just after "life,". At b the comparison relates to "theme and tone" not exactly "lyrically" as claimed.

MoS title (EP). May need an archiveurl (see
here). Content verified.
MoS title. Content verified.
MoS title. Content verified.
Content verified: "Kanye-like absurdity".
At b main text has "later stated", the ref is in same month, you can drop the "later". Content verified.
MoS title. At a source does not specify how the track has changed for Iggy Only version.
MoS title. Content not verifiable by this reviewer.
Content not verified: according to the source this award was given to Messinger for co-producing, not (sole) producing, "Change Your Life"; and also for producing another work, "Rude". The omissions are misrepresenting the source.
Mos title. Content not verified: use of direct quote marks are not justified. Actual quote is "her most catchy pop-sounding song yet" Removing the "pop-sounding" qualifier distorts Dean's meaning.
MoS title. Content verified.
MoS title. Content verified.
Content verified.
MoS title. Unrepresentative quote: dropping the words "slabs of indulgent" gives a false impression of Day's sentiment. As it stands it seems Day's opinion is wholly positive, whereas the actual quote contains at least some negativity.
MoS title. "rapid fire" yes but also "if at times obnoxiously forced". Again selectively quoted to misrepresent the author's mixed opinion.
One of the album's three highlights is verified, other content not supported.

Website appears to be sponsored by GfK. Misleading: they are not responsible for the Irish Singles Chart. Content verified, but a better source should be supplied e.g. irma.ie or the next ref.

MoS title. Attributions required to New Zealand Charts Portal and Hung Medien/Steffen Hung not Official New Zealand Music Chart (although they supplied the base information they did not publish/author this version of it).

Shaidar cuebiyar Greetings. Thanks so much for the very thorough review. I have been on a bit of a Wikibreak recently and shall try my best to address everything within the given period. Regards. CoolMarc18:20, 3 February 2016 (UTC)reply
@
Coolmarc: Other than a run of five edits on 4 February there has not been much of an effort to address these criteria. Unfortunately the article fails at this time. If you believe that you did not receive an adequate review, you may renominate the article immediately or ask to have the article
reassessed.
