"I'll Follow the Sun" is a song by German Eurodance group Mr. President, released in March 1995, by Warner Bros. Records, as the second single from their first album, Up'n Away - The Album (1995). It was the first single to receive participation from rapper Delroy "Layzee Dee" Rennalls, after George "Sir Prophet" Jones left the group. Rennalls also co-wrote the lyrics with Robin Masters and producer Kai Matthiesen. A moderate success on the charts in Europe, "I'll Follow the Sun" became a top-20 hit in Finland (15), Switzerland (16) and Austria (18). In Germany, it peaked at number 23 and spent 14 weeks inside the German Singles Chart. On the Eurochart Hot 100, the song reached number 58 in its second week on the chart, after charting in Austria, Denmark, Finland and Germany.
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "When the Euro president pushes the red button, you'll hear a big bang which clatters like a speeded up bassline from Jacko's 'Billy Jean' with souped-up Giorgio Moroder computer disco."[1]
