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."[1]

"Around the World" was released in May 2000, with the United Kingdom release following in December. The UK release became their lowest chart single at the time, peaking at number 26. The chart position showed that their popularity had fallen and resulted in the follow-up "Bumble Bees". "Around the World" managed to reach number one 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.
