The story behind the song

"I Will Follow" is a tribute from Bono to his mother, Iris Hewson, who passed away when he was 14. He wrote the lyrics from her perspective, focusing on the unconditional love a mother has for her child. The song, which opens their debut album Boy, was born from a place of intense emotion, with Bono struggling to convey the aggressive urgency he envisioned for the guitar riff. It plays like a raw expression of deep, enduring affection.
