"I'm Leavin'" is a song recorded by British singer Lisa Stansfield for her 1997 eponymous album. It was written by Crayge Lindesay and Taura Stinson, and produced by Ian Devaney and Peter Mokran. The song was released as the last promotional single from Lisa Stansfield in the United States on 9 February 1998. The track was remixed by Grammy Award-winning American dance producer, Hex Hector. In April 1998, it became Stansfield's seventh song to top the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart and fourth from Lisa Stansfield to do so (following "People Hold On" (The Bootleg Mixes), "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Never Gonna Fall").

This success on the dance chart prompted Arista Records to release The Remix Album in June 1998, which included two remixes of "I'm Leavin'." Eight years later, on 6 June 2006, Dance Vault Mixes with five of Hex Hector remixes were released digitally in the United States. In 2014, "I'm Leavin'" (Hex Hector N.Y.C. Rough Mix) was included on People Hold On ... The Remix Anthology and The Collection 1989–2003.[1][2] In June 1998, "I'm Leavin'" also promoted The Remix Album on Polish radio, reaching number three on the airplay chart.
