Some of the song's lyrics can be interpreted as referencing drugs and/or extramarital sex. Since the song's debut these points have been widely disputed amongst Internet users and listeners alike, and mixed views abound. These elements have been affirmed by Uncle Kracker himself, where in a 2007 interview with MTV News where he stated, in reference to the meaning of the song:

"It takes on a couple of different meanings. I've heard some people think that I'm talking about drugs, or some people think I'm talking about cheating. I guess it's kinda both. I would never want to say anything that would get myself in trouble, being married with a couple of kids. That song is like a dirty picture painted with a pretty brush."

The music video was directed by Nick Egan and premiered the week of November 20, 2000. It featured Mark McGrath, lead singer of Sugar Ray. It is a popular belief that Cee Lo Green appears in the video. However, this is false. It is actually the co-writer and co-producer of this track Michael Bradford, who bears a passing resemblance to Green. Michael Bradford was also a member of Kid Rock's band at the time, where he played bass.

This song was featured in the movies Coyote Ugly, 3000 Miles to Graceland, The Animal, The Blind Side and the TV series Roswell High. In 2011, the song has been covered by the German rock and roll cover band The Baseballs. The song appeared on their second album, Strings 'N' Stripes. A live version of "Follow Me" can be found on David Allan Coe's 2003 album Live at Billy Bob's Texas.
