His band Imagine Dragons teased the release of its newest single Follow You earlier this week.
And the group's singer Dan Reynolds revealed Thursday in a TikTok video that the track was inspired by the time he almost got divorced from his wife Aja Volkman.

Reynolds' TikTok showed him walking down a rural gravel road while wearing a thick brown jacket and a blue patterned shirt.
'Have you ever gotten a text that changed your life?' his captions began.
'My wife and I hadn't talked in 7 months,' he continued to write as he walked silently down the road while looking all about.
The musician added that he was driving to his lawyer's office to sign his divorce paperwork, making it final.
But on the way to the law office, he received a text message out of the blue from his estranged wife.
Impending divorce: Reynolds' TikTok showed him walking down a rural gravel road. He wrote that he was about to sign divorce papers after not talking to his wife for seven months.
What a difference a day makes: But he got a text from her on his way to sign the papers, so the two skipped it and went for lunch before deciding to reconcile
'She said she didn't need to own me to love me,' he wrote. 'She loved me without expectations.'
So Reynolds and Volkman skipped out on the meeting and met each other for lunch instead.
'It felt like the first date again. We called off the divorce,' he wrote, as his wife jumped into the frame and wrapped him up in a hug.
'Then this guy came around,' Reynolds added as his wife picked up their one-year-old son Valentine.
Reynolds ended the video by sharing that his new single Follow You was written shortly after his reunion.

Reynolds revealed in April of 2018 that he and Volkman had separated.
'Our children continue to be the most important thing in our lives, & we will continue to co-parent them with all our love,' he said in a statement.
In addition to their youngest, the couple also share the twin daughters Coco and Gia, three, and an eight-year-old daughter named Arrow.
They were originally married in 2011.
But in January 2019, Reynolds revealed that the two had reconciled, and over the summer he said the two were attending marriage counseling sessions to strengthen their union.
'I walked into relationships with this false notion that if it’s not all perfect and there’s arguments, then maybe you’re not with the right person. That’s just not the way it works,' he told People.
Follow You and another single, Cutthroat, will be released on Friday, March 12, as the lead up to a fifth studio album for Imagine Dragons.
