"'Around the World'" is a song by the Danish-Norwegian dance-pop group Aqua from their second studio album, 'Aquarius'. It was released as the album's second single in April 2000 and was their final release in the United Kingdom before their split in mid-2001. The song became their second and final top-ten single from the album in Denmark, and it reached the top 20 in Italy, Norway, Spain, and Sweden.
Background and release
"Around the World" was originally called "Larger than Life", but was renamed after American boy band Backstreet Boys released a single with the same title in 1999. The group has described the song as a "happy-dancing song with a huge, massive choir."
"Around the World" was released on 25 April 2000, with the United Kingdom release following on 29 May 2000. The UK release became their lowest-charting single at the time, peaking at number 26. "Around the World" managed to reach number four in the group's native Denmark. In Norway, it made the top 20 at number 16, and in Sweden, it peaked at number four and was certified Gold.
