Follow You (Summer ’21 Version) Lyrics
You know, you know, you know
[Verse 1]
You know, you know I got your number, number all night
I'm always on your team, I got your back, alright
Taking those, taking those losses if he treats you right
I wanna put you into the spotlight
[Pre-Chorus]
If the world would only know what you've been holding back
Heart attacks every night
Oh, you know it's not right
[Chorus]
I will follow you way down wherever you may go
I'll follow you way down to your deepest low
I'll always be around wherever life takes you
You know I'll follow you
[Verse 2]
Call you up, you've been crying, crying all night
You're only disappointed in yourself, alright
Taking those, taking those losses if it treats you right
I wanna take you into the sunlight
If the world would only know what you've been holding back
Heart attacks every night
Oh, you know it's not right
[Chorus]
I'll follow you way down wherever you may go
I'll follow you way down to your deepest low
I'll always be around wherever life takes you
You know I'll follow you
[Post-Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da, you know I'll follow you
La-da-da-da-da-da, wherever life takes you
You know I'll follow you
[Bridge]
She's not the type to give herself enough love
She live her life, hand in a tight glove
I wish that I could fix it, I could fix it for you
But instead I'll be right here comin' through
(Right here coming through)
[Chorus]
I'll follow you way down wherever you may go
I'll follow you way down to your deepest low
I'll always be around wherever life takes you
You know I'll follow you
La-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da, you know I'll follow you
La-da-da-da-da-da, wherever life takes you
You know I'll follow you

In the Song Exploder episode of Follow You [Timestamp: 15:16], Dan talks about the song:
We even did a version of the song by the way, completely different. It’s very organic and it’s more live instrumentation.
But Rick said to me, “Are you trying to make an Imagine Dragons song that is influenced by the Beach Boys or you’re trying to make a Beach Boys song?”. And that made me think a lot about it. I was leaning towards putting out the other version of the song but Rick also said, “Why don’t you go listen to them both?”. So I put on my headphones and went on a run. I remember this super vividly. I went on a run on the beach and the one that we didn’t put out gave me a feeling of like a party. Then I played the other one and it was like emotional for me. It sounded like I worship this woman. This is my religion because religion hasn’t worked for me."
