"'The World in My Hands'" is a 1995 song by German Eurodance project Snap!. It was released as the third single from their third studio album, 'Welcome to Tomorrow' (1994), and features vocals by American singer Summer (a.k.a. Paula Brown). Although it didn't reach the same level of success as the project's earlier singles, it was a notable hit in Europe, reaching the top 30 in Belgium and the top 40 in the Netherlands. On the European Dance Radio Chart, the song peaked at number nine in October 1995.

Critical reception



British magazine 'Music Week' wrote, "The video for this single took three months to make. Chances of seeing it seem slim, though, as this is a dreary, down-tempo effort from the Europopsters." Alan Jones commented, "Snap! have changed since the early days when they perfected the male rap/female singer combination which has proves such a potent force in Eurodance. Now, they can confidently expect an 11th Top 20 hit with The World In My Hands, a brooding mid-tempo workout, with some almost tribal samples."
