"Stealin' Love" is a song by English singer and songwriter Leigh-Anne. It was released on 28 March 2024 through Warner Records as the lead single from her debut extended play, No Hard Feelings.[1][2][3]

Background

[edit]

"Stealin' Love" was first teased in June 2023, in an interview with British Vogue, after Leigh-Anne spoke about her challenges with motherhood and revealed details about her upcoming debut album. The song was originally set to be included where she said:

"It's about somebody stealing love away from you – you give so much and they're taking it and not giving enough in return. There's stuff that I'm going to be unveiling about our relationship that's scary. I'm getting married, he's the love of my life, but we've been through shit. Fully showing something for what it is is a really vulnerable thing to do and that does petrify me, but at the same time, it's life. Relationships are frickin' hard work. If something is good enough to fight for then that's the main thing".[4]

In March 2024, she announced a separate music project that was different to her upcoming solo album. It would feature five tracks which would "fit together in their own world".[5] "Stealin' Love" was first teased across her social media pages and was first written in 2020.[1] A visualiser for the track alongside with an additional video of Leigh-Anne performing choreography with a dancer was also revealed.
