"Been Around the World" is a song by American rapper Puff Daddy, featuring the Notorious B.I.G. and Mase, released by Bad Boy and Arista Records on November 14, 1997 as the fourth single from Puff Daddy's debut studio album, No Way Out (1997). The song samples David Bowie's 1983 hit song "Let's Dance", and contains an interpolation of Lisa Stansfield's song "All Around the World", performed by B.I.G. in the chorus. In the album version, the song concludes with a skit featuring an interview with one of the song's producers, the Madd Producer.

As with No Way Outs previous three singles—each of which peaked at numbers one or two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart—"Been Around the World" peaked at number two on the chart, for the weeks dated January 3 and 10. "Been Around the World" did reach No. 1 on ''Billboard'''s Hot Rap Tracks and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.

Music video

The song's music video was directed by Paul Hunter. It features Mase and Puff Daddy as spies. The video includes appearances by Vivica A. Fox, Quincy Jones, Wyclef Jean and Jennifer Lopez.
