"Follow Through" is a song recorded by American singer Gavin DeGraw, released on August 8, 2005 for his debut studio album Chariot (2003). The song, like all of the album, was solely written by DeGraw. The song was featured on TV shows like One Tree Hill (where his song "I Don't Want to Be" was the theme song for the show) and Scrubs. "Follow Through" was also included in British and Italian advertisements for Carte d'Or ice cream.

The song itself was a minor success, peaking within the top twenty on the Dutch Top 40 and Norway but only reached number 68 in Australia and failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100, although it did chart on some component charts, peaking at number 22 on the Adult Top 40 chart
