Background

Hardwell says it was the first time he had ever made a track over Skype. He said he was in Breda whilst Derulo was in Miami and "it as a back and forth thing".[2]

When speaking of the collaboration, Hardwell said; "Getting the chance to work with Jason on this album was a dream moment for me. I've been a huge fan of his work for a long time now. I had the idea of the track I wanted to make with him for a while; combining my sound and style with his distinct voice and lyrical flair, it was always going to be something special".

Derulo said; "When Hardwell and I decided to work together, I knew the potential of what we would be able to create was incredible, but "Follow Me" is a game changer that I can't wait to share with the fans".[1]

A music video to accompany the release of "Follow Me" was first released onto YouTube on 17 July 2015 at a total length of four minutes and four seconds.[3]
