"Follow You" came out on March 12, 2021, one of two lead singles for Imagine Dragons' fifth album, Mercury – Act 1, sharing the launch with its B-side, "Cutthroat". Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee and Daniel Platzman wrote it with Joel Little, Elley Duhé and Fransisca Hall.

Little holds the producer credit and recorded it, and Serban Ghenea and John Hanes mixed it, but the more intriguing presence in the room was Rick Rubin. The album's executive producer sat in on the sessions at his Shangri-La studio in Malibu and had a real say in how the vocals and the overall sound came together. What comes out the other end is pop rock polished to a high, arena-ready shine.
