Interesting facts and trivia about Lean On. By Songfacts®.

The first single from Peace is the Mission finds Major Lazer teaming up with the French DJ and producer DJ Snake of "Turn Down For What" fame. The track features vocals by the Danish singer MØ, who is best known for crooning the hook on Iggy Azalea's "Beg For It" single.

The accompanying music video was filmed in India. We see Major Lazer, DJ Snake and MØ performing the track surrounded by Bollywood-inspired choreography. "India is special and its beauty absolutely humbled me," said Major Lazer's Diplo. "When we toured there as Major Lazer, it was mind blowing to see our fan-base and we wanted to incorporate the attitude and positive vibes into our video and just do something that embodies the essence of Major Lazer."

Diplo told Time that he initially sent the song to both Rihanna and Nicki Minaj's camps as a slower reggae track. Their rejection was, he said, "a blessing in disguise." "[MØ] sounds better than anybody was going to sound on that record," Diplo added. "All we want to do is make the records feel like classics, even though they're feeling progressive and strange to a normal ear."
