Imagine Dragons – Follow You
Wikipedia entry
Dan Reynolds, Imagine Dragons lead singer, songwriter:
“Have you ever gotten a text that changed your life? My wife and I hadn’t talked in 7 months. I was driving to the lawyer’s office to sign the divorce papers. When I got a text from her that turned my perspective upside down. She said she didn’t want to own me to love me. She loved me without expectations. We ditched the lawyers and went to lunch. It felt like the first date again. We called off the divorce. Then this guy (son Valentine) came around. I wrote this song after I got that text.”
