Follow You is very maximalist in my opinion, not sure how that will fare on the pop charts.

This is already Top 50 on Hot AC and Top 20 on Alt, should make it inside top 50 here soon.

That last album really killed a lot of their momentum I feel. If not for that, this would feel like a surefire top 5. Top 20 is my safe bet

I could see this going either way...I agree their "Orgins" album slowed their momentum...but at the same time it seems like chr/pop is a tad bit more open to alternative as of late with MGK, Glass Animals, All Time Low being able to chart at the same time...in the past few years it seems chr/pop only had room for 1 alt song at a time...I am rooting for Imagine Dragons reguardless

I love them but this song kinda goes nowhere. It needed a bit more "explosiveness" on the chorus.

Did they sample We Didn't Start The Fire? The bridge leading up to the chorus sounds like a verse from that song

Am I the only one who thinks the chorus melody/chord structure sounds a LOT like that of We're Good by Dua Lipa?

It's certainly no Thunder (and that's a good thing). I agree that I'm not sure how Pop will treat this. I could see it getting a good sized push at first but not going super high unless its streaming numbers pick up.

BTW, everything I can discern about "Follow You" is the label being scared absolutely s***less after "Bad Liar" flopped, to the point that the planned third radio single "Birds" was cancelled (it was still sent internationally though). They weren't even going to send this song to AAA until AAA started playing it anyway, and it got belatedly sent for adds. It wasn't serviced to Hot AC until that format began playing it. Last I checked "Follow You" still hasn't been sent to pop.
I have never seen a flop scare a record label like this for a very long time, to the point where they seem almost afraid to push the song even though it sounds like a hit.

I have never seen a flop scare a record label like this for a very long time, to the point where they seem almost afraid to push the song even though it sounds like a hit. In general, between 2017 and 2018, ID’s singles had good callouts on Hot AC but mediocre ones on Pop (with the exception of Thunder, which got good callouts on both formats), so I can understand why Follow You is getting pushed to Hot AC first in that regard. I think Bad Liar’s terrible performance was the result of people getting very burnt out on the band, who at that time had just released an album that came out just a year after their previous one, and even with an extended break throughout 2020, the general public doesn’t look very eager to embrace them again.

They released that album way too soon and the results made that obvious

I am beyond obsessed with this and I am already a pretty big fan of the group. But, OMG the melody of the chorus, the hum-da-dum-da-dum-da parts, the cadence in the second part of the verses. Definitely one of their best songs. Surprised that Joel Little did this because it sounds SO Imagine Dragons. I can't imagine Lorde or Taylor singing this, so I respect his versatility.

I do think they took a bit of a step back with Origins, even though I still enjoyed a lot of it. This song gets me hyped every time.
