The acoustic version of Leaning is a heartfelt rendition that I recorded with my duet partner, Roxé, and produced by Michael Shanks. We wanted to capture the raw emotion and intimacy of our live performances, celebrating those simple, joyful moments in life—like a warm hug or a perfect kiss. These experiences release oxytocin, the “love hormone,” deepening our sense of love and connection. Leaning was inspired by those moments when you let go and fully embrace happiness.

A haiku in celebration of the song release

Warmth & Comfort - a Haiku

Leaning into you
Warmth and comfort hold me tight
Safe in your embrace
