Description
The beginning of the track features Bingham Bellamy's heartbeat, recorded on Bellamy's iPhone.[1] According to Bellamy, the song will be about 'having a baby and that.' This was later confirmed in an NME article where the song was described as Matt's 'ode to fatherhood.'
According to a French magazine, Jeuxactu, the song starts quietly and crescendos into an almost dancefloor beat with big bass. They have also stated that the track is "out of the ordinary."[2]
The band collaborated with Nero on production to help create a more successful electronic mix of the song.
Throughout the song Chris Wolstenholme reaches B♭4 - Matt's highest belted note.

Lyrics
When darkness falls and surrounds you
when you fall down
bring escape and you must be brave
i'm coming to hold you now
all the strength has gone
And you feel
Like your life has slipped away
Follow me, you can follow me
And I, I will not desert you now
When your fire has died out
And no ones there
They have left you for dead
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, hurt you
When your heart is broken
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
I will fear nothing
you will be held
