Speaking on the track, Saphir Levi Shares:

“Follow Your Shadow’ is about shedding past selves and stepping into the unknown. The vibe is something instinctual, gritty and emotional. Raw and live. Writing it felt like unlocking a part of me I hadn’t met yet, and finishing it with the team was this deep, electric collaboration. “
