Follow Me is a standard pop song with electronic and dubstep elements which made it a good candidate for a single. As a result, during The 2nd Law Tour it would make consistent appearances at nearly every gig, the second highest performance count from that era of any song with the sole exception of Madness. After 2013, however, it has yet to make a single appearance in a live concert. Alongside other singles Survival, Supremacy and Panic Station, it has rarely made an appearance since. The band revealed that many songs from The 2nd Law wouldn't be performed again because of being "complicated to perform live" (this most likely refers to Survival and Follow Me). | |||

As a result, during The 2nd Law Tour it would make consistent appearances at nearly every gig, the second highest performance count from that era of any song with the sole exception of Madness. After 2013, however, it has yet to make a single appearance in a live concert. Alongside other singles Survival, Supremacy and Panic Station, it has rarely made an appearance since. The band revealed that many songs from The 2nd Law wouldn't be performed again because of being "complicated to perform live" (this most likely refers to Survival and Follow Me).

Follow me You can follow me I will keep you safe Follow me You can follow me I will protect you
I won’t let them hurt They're hurting you, no Ooh yeah When your heart is breaking
You can follow me You can follow me I will always keep you safe Follow me You can trust in me I will always protect you, my love Feel my love Feel my love.
