See The World is the twenty-first single to be released by singer-songwriter Ashley!. It is the fourth single to be released from her fourth studio album Let The Light In, acting as follow-up to the era's previously released number one singles Glitter, One Kiss Before Midnight and I Think I'm In Love. It is noted due to its slight deviation from Ashley's strict pop nature, interluding the world beat genre. Written by Ashley and produced by long-time collaborators Cirkut and Greg Kurstin, it was a critical success upon release as the album's second track, eventually becoming a single in November 2015.

Upon release, the track debuted at number one, with sales of 100,159. In its second week, it dropped to number two, but saw increase in sales, with an additional 108,115 copies sold. Its third week saw it return to the top spot with another increase of sales, with 123,760 copies sold. This return to number one was seen as an upset, as it blocked Uraps Legend Alesha from hitting the top spot. It marked the first time an Ashley single managed to climb back to number one. It was certified Platinum in just 7 weeks and named the highest selling track of November in the annual '12 Hits of Christmas'.
