A melodia de “All Around the World” surgiu quando Ian Devaney tocava piano no estúdio, e a frase “Been around the world and I, I, I…” evoluiu para o refrão principal da música.
A gravação da faixa foi feita com orçamento limitado: o vocal de Lisa Stansfield foi capturado em apenas duas tomadas, e os arranjos de cordas foram adicionados posteriormente.
O início falado da canção foi criado como homenagem ao Barry White, influenciando a atmosfera da música ao referenciar seu clássico “Let the Music Play”.
Lisa Stansfield, Ian Devaney e Andy Morris receberam o Ivor Novello Award de 1989 na categoria “Best Song Musically and Lyrically” por esta composição.
Nos Estados Unidos, o single chegou ao nº 3 no Billboard Hot 100 e liderou as paradas de Hot Black Singles, Dance Club Play e 12‑inch Singles Sales, além de ser certificado platina.
“All Around the World” alcançou o primeiro lugar nas paradas de vários países europeus, incluindo Reino Unido, Áustria, Bélgica, Holanda, Noruega e Espanha, consolidando‑se como o primeiro dos oito sucessos Top 10 de Stansfield no Reino Unido.
