The third single, "Follow Me", was released inon October 3, 2012. Due to the addiction of the non-debuted group Bunny and another member from EGD, the number of members increased to 32, which made LDH lead to a new system for the release of the single where the girls were required to undergo a period of training and afterwards, the girls who excelled and fit the image of the single would be chosen to participate. Sixteen members, four vocalists and twelve performers, from all five groups included on E-Girls were chosen for this single. All songs from the single were included on the album. It peaked at number two in ''Oricon'''s weekly chart, selling with 30,008 copies in the first week.<ref name=followme>{{cite web |url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/artist/552190/products/music/985650/1/ |title=Ｆｏｌｌｏｗ　ＭｅFollow Me Ｅ－ＧｉｒｌｓE－Girlsのプロフィールならオリコン芸能人事典-ORICON STYLE|format= |work=[[Oricon]] |language=Japanese |date= |accessdate=2013-04-25}}</ref> Although the selling numbers of the physical single being below compared to the single "The Never Ending Story", it is classified as the most successful single of the group at the date due to its digital performance (250 000 downloads).
