"Around the World" is the second single by American alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers from their album Californication, released on September 14, 1999. It is the first song on Californication, and one of the few tracks on the album where the Red Hot Chili Peppers stick closely to their roots in rap and funk, although the song's chorus and outro reflects upon their newfound melodic balladry influences. The song is notable for highly distorted bass riffs.

A music video was made for the song, directed by Stéphane Sednaoui, who had previously made videos for other Chili Peppers songs such as "Breaking the Girl", "Scar Tissue" and "Give It Away". The latter in particular, with its unique, chaotic visual style, is similar to "Around the World".
Californication attracted criticism for having excessive amounts of high-frequency digital clipping throughout the album. This is clearly evident on the intro of "Around the World", which is loud and abrasive.
