"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. It was the first single from the album of the same name and was released in late 1998. Although it didn't fare well in the US, where it remained at the bottom of the Billboard Hot 100, the song was a hit in many European countries where it was a top-three hit.
