Consequence of Sound 's Michelle Geslani called the song a 'bouncy banger' and complimented MØ's "siren-like" vocals. Brennan Carley of Spin wrote, "It's as if No Doubt met the C+C Music Factory". MØ sounds better than anybody was going to sound on that record." Critical reception Diplo called this turn of events "a blessing in disguise. He also offered said arrangement of the song to Nicki Minaj, who turned it down as well. We're super proud of this song." Diplo offered a slower reggae arrangement of the song to Rihanna, who rejected it. After he did his thing, me, MØ and Blender rewrote the song at the new tempo in Las Vegas and made something very unique that became our album's lead-off single. A year later I remixed the song at a completely different tempo and asked DJ Snake for a signature post chorus. Very big to me but the production was lacking an attitude we needed. Regarding the creative process behind "Lean On", producer Diplo of Major Lazer said, "We wrote this song with MØ very early from an instrumental Jr Blender created in some sessions in Trinidad. According to IFPI, "Lean On" was the fifth best selling song of 2015 worldwide, and one of the best-selling singles of all time, with global sales of 13.1 million. The video premiered on March 23, 2015, and has over 3 billion views on YouTube as of May 2021. The accompanying music video for "Lean On" was filmed in ND Studios, Karjat, Kaul Heritage City, in Vasai in Maharashtra, India and in the Golden Hall at Stockholm City Hall. In November 2015, "Lean On" was named by Spotify as the most streamed song of all time, and has over 1 billion streams globally as of June 2017 however, it was later overtaken by Drake's " One Dance" (2016).
It reached number one in several other countries including Argentina, Australia, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Mexico and Switzerland as well as the top 10 in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, France, Israel, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain and Sweden. "Lean On" was a critical and commercial success, peaking at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the UK Singles Chart. It is an EDM, electronic and moombahton song. It was written by MØ, Diplo, William Grigahcine, Martin Bresso and Jr Blender, and produced by Major Lazer and DJ Snake. It was released on March 2, 2015, as the lead single from Major Lazer's third studio album, Peace Is the Mission (2015). The experience is something we’ll never forget." Lean On" is a song recorded by American electronic dance music group Major Lazer and French DJ and record producer DJ Snake featuring vocals from Danish singer MØ. Major Lazer has always been a culture mashup and to us, India feels like some kind of special creature with one foot in history and one firmly in the future. When we toured there as Major Lazer, it was mind blowing to see our fanbase and we wanted to incorporate the attitude and positive vibes into our video and just do something that embodies the essence of Major Lazer. Upon the release of “Lean On” video, Diplo expounded on his love for India in the YouTube video’s caption, writing, “India is special and its beauty absolutely humbled me. Diplo’s 2008 documentary, Favela On Blast, also explored the musical subcultures of Brazil. (Jillionaire was replaced in the group by Ape Drums in 2019.) The group has heavily incorporated styles of music indigenous to Brazil, the Caribbean and beyond in a catalog that dates back to 2009. Major Lazer, which in 2015 was made up of Diplo, Walshy Fire and Jillionaire, has long been influenced by the music and styles of global cultures. In 2017, the video also made internet history when it became one of the few videos in that era to hit two billion views on YouTube. It spent 23 weeks in this peak position and 61 total weeks on the chart.
4 on the Hot 100 (where it spent 48 weeks), and hit No. 1 in over 20 countries from Argentina to Lebanon, peaked at No.
The track itself was a monster hit, becoming Spotify’s most streamed song of all time just eight months after its release, with 526 million streams, and helping fuse electronic and pop music.
“I was so excited making that video and I was so excited to be invited into Major Lazer’s visual universe because I always thought they had such a cool style,” MØ continues in the interview. The clip was filmed at myriad historical sites in the region.
