Description
The beginning of the track features Bingham Bellamy's heartbeat, recorded on Bellamy's iPhone.[1] According to Bellamy, the song will be about 'having a baby and that.' This was later confirmed in an NME article where the song was described as Matt's 'ode to fatherhood.'
According to a French magazine, Jeuxactu, the song starts quietly and crescendos into an almost dancefloor beat with big bass. They have also stated that the track is "out of the ordinary."[2]
The band collaborated with Nero on production to help create a more successful electronic mix of the song.
Throughout the song Chris Wolstenholme reaches B♭4 - Matt's highest belted note.

By error of Bellamy, Howard, Wolstenholme or Kirk, the name of the song was leaked by a photo on Twitter, until it was deleted.
Lyrics
...Be Brave...
...And you feel
Like your life has slipped away
Follow me, you can follow me
And I, I will not desert you
When your fire has died out
And no ones there
They have left you for dead
Follow me, you can follow me
I will keep you safe
Follow me, you can follow me
And I will protect you
And I won't let them
Hurt, hurt you
When your heart is broken
You can follow me, you can follow me
And I will always keep you safe
Follow me, you can trust in me
And I will always protect you...
