New York, NY (Top40 Charts) GRAMMY-winning, multi-Platinum band
Imagine Dragons have unveiled the music video for their new single �Follow You�. The video stars actors and real-life couple Rob McElhenney & Kaitlin Olson and was shot inside The Venetian Theatre at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. The video made its global broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU and across MTV�s global network of channels, as well as on the ViacomCBS Times
Square billboard today.
Directed by Matt Eastin, McElhenney and Olson find themselves preparing for a surprise, private birthday concert planned by Olson for McElhenney featuring his favorite band. It doesn�t take long to uncover that she perhaps booked her favorite band before
Imagine Dragons take to the stage for a performance of �Follow You� full of fantastical twists, romance, and� some bare chests.
McElhenney is the creator, executive producer and star of the cultural phenomenon It�s Always Sunny in Philadelphia for FXX and Mythic Quest for Apple TV+ � whose highly-anticipated second season will debut on May 7, 2021.
Olson is best known for her role on It�s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. She has also starred in The Mick, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Finding Dory and will next be seen in HBO Max's highly anticipated Jean Smart Comedy series, �Hacks.�
�Follow You� was released March 12 via KIDinaKORNER/Interscope. The love song was written by vocalist Dan Reynolds after getting back together and eventually re-marrying his wife after a 7-month separation a few years ago. �I wanted [the song] to represent a love that is realistic. One where love isn�t perfect, but it endures,� Reynolds said on his social media platforms ahead of the song�s release.
Imagine Dragons also released the song �Cutthroat� last Friday, a propulsive, punk-leaning anthem about killing the critic inside of you. The group recorded the song with producer Rick Rubin at his Shangri-La studio in Malibu.
Billboard hails that the releases mark the band�s return �with soaring ambition intact,� calling �Follow You� a �song of devotion that aims to be bellowed by thousands in a festival field,� while �Cutthroat� �invites head-banging in line with its jittery, pseudo-industrial stomp.�
�Follow You� and �Cutthroat� mark the first new music from the GRAMMY�-winning, multi-Platinum band since their 2018 album Origins.
With 40 million albums and 50 million songs sold globally, as well as 60 billion combined streams,
