"Every Heartbeat" is a song by American Christian singer
Amy Grant. It was released in June 1991 by
A&M Records (in remixed and re-produced form) as the third single from her ninth studio album, Heart in Motion (1991), though it was the second from the album to be released to mainstream
pop radio. It reached
No. 2 on the US
Billboard Hot 100 and on the
Adult Contemporary chart for one and six weeks, respectively.
Charlie Peacock wrote the song's music and chorus lyrics, with Grant and
Wayne Kirkpatrick composing the remaining lyrics.[2]
In 2004,
Sixpence None the Richer covered "Every Heartbeat" on the album Full Circle: A Celebration of Songs and Friends, which commemorated Charlie Peacock's 20-year anniversary as a solo recording artist.
Mark Lowry parodied the song with the title "Every Teacher". In 2014, the song was included on Grant's remix compilation album, In Motion: The Remixes. A digital remix EP was released on
iTunes in support of the album which charted at No. 13 on the BillboardHot Dance Club Songs chart.
