"Big Big World" is a 1998 ballad song recorded by Emilia Rydberg from Sweden. Rydberg wrote the song with Lasse Anderson. The song is about love, with references to the autumn season. It was the first single from the album of the same name and was released in late 1998. The song was a hit in Europe where it reached the top five in many countries but fared poorly in the US, where it remained at the bottom of the Billboard Hot 100.
