A single button, cyclic shower head switch includes a main body having a button opening and at least two outlet passages; a reversing shaft disposed in the main body by a connecting element having a pivot, that has a sealing pad and one end having a spherical surface including a top face and a bottom face, and is configured to move along the axis of the main body; and a reversing button movably coupled to the pivot, that protrudes from the button opening, and is disposed with a guiding groove coupled to the spherical surface of the reversing shaft. When the reversing button is switched, the guiding groove moves circularly about the pivot and abuts against the spherical surface and causes the reversing shaft to move downwardly or upwardly along the axis of the main body so that the sealing pad closes one outlet passage and opens another outlet passage.
