"Leavin'"
Song

"Leavin'" is a song written and produced by Tricky Stewart,The Neptunes and The-Dream[3], and recorded by American singer Jesse McCartney. It is the lead single from McCartney's third studio album Departure (May 20, 2008), and it was sent to the U.S. mainstream radios on March 10 2008.[1]

Release

The single was released on iTunes on April 22. The single has since reached number 3 on iTunes Top Songs.

The UK release of the single has been said to be released on June 2nd 2008 according to Jesse's Official UK Site (www.jesse-mccartney.co.uk) followed by his album Departure on June 9th 2008. The UK download has been released via 7digital and the music video is currently receiving heavy airplay on music video channels across the UK.


Music video

Tommy2 confirmed that the music video for "Leavin'" was shot on February 17 2008 and was directed by Sanji, who also directed his "She's No You" video.[4]

The video premiered on March 7th on Yahoo! Music.[5]

Many were shocked at the maturity of the video, sites such as Tommy2.net referred to the video as being "steamier than his [Jesse's] past videos". Others commented on how his younger audience would be lost, as the video is more sexual than his past videos.

No statement has been issued from Disney Channel, after being reported that the video was banned from being played on the channel due to its extreme sexuality. It is unknown if Disney Channel is planning to promote his new album. It has peaked at #1 on the MuchOnDemand Daily Countdown.
