I just frkn Love their version of this song. This is how I play it on the Piano. Maybe not spot on
but it sounds pretty good.
Regarding Bassnotes in chorus, I play different every time, but I'll add some examples to give you an idea.
Keep it funky :)
Also It's important to add variations (e.g  Ebm/  Ebm7/   Ebm11-    Bbm7/  Bbmaug  /  Ebm/Bb)
on pretty much every chord to keep it funky.
As always listen to the song so you know when to change chord and also to feel the groove. =)

The story behind the song

This Postmodern Jukebox rendition takes the high-energy electronic dance hit "Lean On" and reinterprets its spirit through a vintage lens. While the original by Major Lazer and DJ Snake, featuring MØ, is a global sensation, PMJ's version invites you to rediscover the song's core feeling of fierce attachment and vulnerability. It captures the essence of standing by someone, ready to "blow a kiss, fire a gun" in their defense, remembering when things felt "innocent." Playing this version feels like stepping into a classic film, where heartfelt commitment meets a timeless, elegant groove.
