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]
