"I'm Leaning on You" is a song performed by American contemporary Christian music singer Crowder featuring Riley Clemmons.
I was researching the hymn and it turns out that the guy who wrote it, Anthony Showalter, was a school teacher and he had received letters from his former students saying that their wives had died, and in writing letters of consolation, Showalter was inspired by the phrase in Deuteronomy 33:27, "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms."
"I'm Leaning on You" is an "R&B flavored" song,[5] composed in the key of A with a tempo of 70 beats per minute and a musical time signature of 44.
[6] Toby Fournier of Cross Rhythms gave a positive review of the song, saying, "Bare piano chords open the song with David Crowder coming in to deliver his message of hope, which gradually rises to a crescendo and features some killer backing vocals on the chorus and a chord progression that lifts the whole affair sky high.
[9] Crowder released the audio video of "I'm Leaning on You" showcasing the I Know a Ghost album artwork through YouTube on November 9, 2018.
