'"Every Heartbeat"' is a song by American Christian singer Amy Grant. It was released in June 1991 (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 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.McKelvey, Douglas Kaine (2004, April). Two Decades DownCharlie Peacock.
