Background and release

"Follow Me (Zoey 101)" was first written and recorded in 2004 by Jamie Lynn Spears and her older sister Brittany Spears.[1] Spears was 12 years old and was originally too nervous to record the song, but after encouragement from her older sister, she felt comfortable singing.[2][3] It served as the theme song to Zoey 101, with Spears then playing the lead character from 2005 to 2008.[4] Despite the song being very popular among fans, it was never commercially released.[5][6] Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, people started re-watching their childhood shows, inspiring Spears to re-record the song as fans waited for the reboot of the show.[6]

Spears had wanted to rewrite the lyrics of "Follow Me (Zoey 101)" due to writing the original as a young child.[7] Spears recorded a new version of "Follow Me (Zoey 101)" with American DJ Chantel Jeffries over Zoom during the Spring of 2020. They finished remixing the song in a recording studio in Louisiana.[3] The song was later released on October 22, 2020, by Republic Records, and credits Spears and Jeffries as the artists.[5][8][9] The song was produced by Jeffries along with American musician Josh Cumbee.[5]

A music video for the re-recorded version of "Follow Me (Zoey 101)", which was directed by Gigi Gorgeous, was released on October 27, 2020.[7] The video was filmed on September 29, 2020, and features parts of the original show with new footage featuring Spears, her daughter, and the original Zoey 101 cast of Erin Sanders, Christopher Massey, Matthew Underwood, and Sean Flynn.[5][7][11] The video also features JoJo Siwa, Dixie D'Amelio Noah Beck, and Sofia Reyes auditioning to be characters in a fake Zoey 101.[5][11][12] It ends with them dancing at a party with confetti falling while Dixie and Noah kiss.[7]
