"Anywhere in the World" is a collaborative single by English DJ, guitarist, music producer, artist Mark Ronson and English singer-songwriter Katy B. It was recorded as part of Coca-Cola's Move to the Beat promotional campaign for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.[1][2] The single was released as a digital download on 30 March 2012 in Belgium and it was released in the UK on 13 May 2012.

Background[edit]

Ronson used recorded snippets of the athletes—Mexican Taekwondo athlete Maria del Rosario Espinoza muffled punches, Russian runner Kseniya Olegovna Vdovina's heartbeat—in his anthemic instrumental.

Cover versions[edit]

There is also a Bulgarian version of the single, called "Навсякъде по света" (lit.'Everywhere in the World'). It features Raffi Bohosyan, Angel & Moisey and Krisko.[3] A Spanish version called "Únete al movimiento" was recorded by Mexican group Belanova. For Switzerland a version featuring Geneva rapper M.A.M. replacing Katy's verses was recorded.
