I was on the outside when you said You needed me I was looking at myself I was blind, I could not see A boy tries hard to be a man His mother takes him by his hand If he stops to think, he starts to cry Oh why? If you walk away, walk away I walk away, walk away I will follow If you walk away, walk away I walk away, walk away I will follow I will follow I was on the inside When they pulled the four walls down I was looking through the window I was lost, I am found Walk away, walk away You walk away, walk away I will follow If you walk away, walk away I walk away, walk away I will follow I will follow Your eyes make a circle I see you when I go in there Your eyes, your eyes Your eyes, your eyes If you walk away, walk away I walk away, walk away I will follow If you walk away, walk away I walk away, walk away I will follow I will follow

Foi o primeiro single de U2, lançando a faixa “I Will Follow” como abertura do álbum de estreia, *Boy*, em 1980.
Bono compôs a música aproximadamente três semanas antes da gravação de *Boy*, inspirando‑se na morte trágica de sua mãe, que faleceu de hemorragia cerebral no funeral de seu pai.
A canção foi a única que a banda tocou em todos os turnês desde o seu primeiro álbum, consolidando‑a como favorita no repertório ao vivo.
O vídeo musical de “I Will Follow” foi o primeiro da história de U2; dirigido por Meiert Avis, foi filmado em Dublin, Irlanda.
A faixa recebeu duas reedições como single: uma versão ao vivo nos Países Baixos e Alemanha em 1981, e outra dos Estados Unidos, extraída do álbum *Under a Blood Red Sky* em 1983.
