Songfacts®:

  • The first single from Mindless Behavior's sophomore album, All Around the World, is a sassy tune about holding onto your girl. "I think a lot of boys can relate to it, because I think every boy has had that experience where you find that one girl that everybody wants but you get the chance to have her, so you have to keep her on the low from everybody else," Mindless Behavior's Princeton explained to MTV News. "That's pretty much what the song is about."
  • Princeton told MTV News about the All Around The World album title. "I think each of our albums have a concept and the first album was finding our #1 girls," he explained. "And now that we've traveled around the world, the second album, the concept is trying to get not just girls, but boys and adults but everybody, to follow our teen revolution. And we're looking for all of our fans all around the world so that's our movement."
  • The song's music video finds the guys as secret agents on a mission to put together a rooftop secret performance for their fans. "This video we want to show our dancing aspect of what we can do," Princeton explained to MTV News. "Since we're agents in the video, and it's our new teen revolution movement, in the beginning of the video we walk into this abandoned warehouse and we find this briefcase. And when we open it, it's our agent manager Walter and he's giving us these tasks to accomplish. And, it leads up to us dancing and having a party on a roof."
