"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 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.[1]

In 1992, Kids Incorporated covered "Every Heartbeat" in the Season 8 episode "Old Friends".[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 Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

A music video was produced to promote the single. The video was directed by D.J. Webster and edited by Scott C. Wilson. Actress Musetta Vander is featured in it.
