Follow the Light is the third studio album by Swedish singer-songwriter Molly Nilsson, released on 7 June 2010.

Regarding Follow the Light, Nilsson said that she was "a little bit disillusioned and confused about what [she] was going to do" after her previous album Europa (2009) had not sold as well as expected.[1] In 2022, Nilsson looked back fondly on the album, saying: "I’m very critical of almost everything I do, but when I look back on that album, I do think it’s a really fun one. I don’t think there’s one bad song on there."[1]

Themes

Memory has been cited as a central topic on Follow the Light, specifically on the songs "The Closest We'll Ever Get to Heaven" and "I'm Still Wearing His Jacket".[1]
