"Follow Me" is the sixth track on The 2nd Law, Muse's 2012 album, and the third single pulled from it that December after going out to radio as a promo in September alongside "Panic Station". Matt Bellamy wrote and sings it, and the band produced it with Nero, who also mixed it.
Nero's hand shows: the track leans on dubstep, and it reaches back to the electronic side of Black Holes and Revelations and The Resistance. The heartbeat at the start belongs to Bellamy's newborn son Bingham, recorded on his iPhone, and Bellamy said the song was about having a baby; NME called it his "ode to fatherhood". So a stadium-sized electro stomp turns out to be a lullaby with the volume cranked. An instrumental version later rolled over the end credits of World War Z.
