"Follow You Down" is the first song from the album Congratulations... I'm Sorry by Gin Blossoms, and was released as a double-A side single along with "Til I Hear It from You". According to an interview by Songfacts with Gin Blossoms songwriter Jesse Valenzuela, this song was written at the very end of the recording process for the Congratulations...I'm Sorry album. The song received a fair amount of radio play and has been featured in several films, including How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. It reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 in a 46-week stay on the chart.
Billboard said the song showcases "this band's knack for crafting perfect pop hooks with sing-along lyrics."
