Background and release [edit]

"All Around the Earth was acme of most. Over the years, a lot of people have told me the song helped them through a difficult menstruum. That's beautiful, to know you've helped someone in that way. The vocal literally took us around the world, four times. I suppose you have to exist conscientious what you sing, because yous might accept to do information technology."

—Lisa Stansfield talking near the vocal.[2]

Stansfield co-wrote the lyrics of "All Effectually the Earth" with her sometime bandmates Ian Devaney and Andy Morris from Blue Zone. In a 2019 interview, Stansfield recalled the process when the song was made:

I came into the studio, and Ian was messing around at the piano. He had a tune, and I just started singing: "Been around the earth and I, I, I…" Everyone laughed but Ian said, "Look, it's really good, that." Information technology just came into my head – it was nonsense, merely had a actually good feel to information technology. "I, I, I" became the principal hook. We'd no thought how massive it would get.

The song came downwardly quickly and on low budget. The vocal part was fabricated in only ii takes and real strings were put on afterwards. The vocal is largely influenced by American singer-songwriter Barry White.

An erstwhile-fashioned kind of song, very good."[ix] Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger said that "All Around the World" "is a vocal near guilt and loss, it'southward no surprise she doesn't audio quite so blithesome."[x] Reading Eagle described it as a "hauntingly seductive" track that "revolves around a classic hook."[eleven] Amy Linden for Rolling Stone noted that Stansfield "accomplishes what she has to with disarming ease. The way she reaches for the loftier notes ("What Did I Do to Yous?") and the manner her vocalisation slinks effectually the line "and then-oo sad" in "All Around the Earth" bear witness that this is someone who knows her roots – fifty-fifty if they aren't really hers."[12] John Nichols from Toledo Bract said it is "dazzling" and added that Stansfield's voice "is everywhere it is should be – whispering, soaring, going deep and and so going loud.
