I heard from r’ Arel Serebryanski a”h that the frierdiker rebbe wrote it under a pen name (T.Z.B.).

r’ Shimon Goldman a”h writes in his book (from shedlitz to safety p. 155) that r’ Yisrael Dovid Rosenberg composed it while sick in bed on the ship from Shanghai to America.

r’ zusha Posner related that it was sung before the frierdiker rebbe but he didn’t enjoy it. http://chabadpedia.co.il/index.php/החיינו_א-ל_(ניגון)#cite_ref-1

the way it is sung here has many inaccuracies

I was there in 5751 and he told us the words were written by the Frierdiker Rebbe. There are a number of differences in the way he sang the tune compared to this recording. He also told us that when sung in the presence of the Frierdiker Rebbe, the Frierdiker Rebbe did not encourage it, which – Rabbi Gordon continued – is why the niggun never became very well known in Lubavitch.
