The report says “Follow Me” brings together JIHYO, French Montana, LUDMILLA, Adriana C and RedOne in a cross-border collaboration connected to the build-up to the 2026 World Cup.
That response gives JIHYO a clear positive from the release. Even listeners frustrated by the presentation reportedly believe she carried much of the song’s musical impact.
The video’s artificial imagery has become the dominant issue. Rather than creating a sense of stadium energy and global celebration, the production choices have reportedly left some viewers questioning the quality and ambition of the release.
The video also features football figures including Ronaldo, Brahim Diaz and Federico Valverde, according to the report. Their presence raises expectations, making the synthetic presentation more noticeable when the visual execution fails to match the scale of the collaboration.
The update also says “Follow Me” is a RedOne release tied to the tournament build-up, not an official song. That distinction matters: the track can still benefit from World Cup attention, but it does not carry the same institutional status as a formal tournament anthem.
For JIHYO, the song could become a valuable international credit if the vocal praise outlasts the backlash. The next storyline will be whether listeners continue returning to the track once the debate over its video fades-and whether future football collaborations put greater emphasis on human-led production.
