"The World" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Brad Paisley. It was released on March 13, 2006, as the third single from Paisley's 2005 album Time Well Wasted. It reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and also peaked at number 45 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[1] Paisley wrote this song with Kelley Lovelace and Lee Thomas Miller.
The singer uses a play on words to declare his love, saying, "to the world, you may be just another girl / But to me, baby, you are the world."
Critical reception
Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a negative rating. He calls the single a "treacly, condescending love song". He also adds that the song "sounds like something Archie would’ve sung to Edith."[2]
