What does irregular meter mean in music?

Irregular meters, also known as asymmetrical meters, are perhaps more difficult. In irregular meters, beats do not divide evenly into groups of two, three or four. The most common irregular meters feature a top number of 5 or 7.

What is a type of song that changes meter?

A great example of meter changes by section is Hozier's "Take Me To Church." The verses are written in 6/4, which then is changed to 4/4 in the choruses. You can feel that shift happen and it reels you in. The 4/4 grounds the chorus emotionally, which works perfectly for the song.
