Light Up the World (Steps song)

"Light Up The World" is the sixteenth single from the British group Steps, released in 2012 to promote their fourth studio album Light Up the World. The track saw the group reunited with long term collaborators Topham & Twigg. The single failed to live up to the group's previous success and missed the UK top 75 entirely, charting at number 82[1] - breaking their string of top 5 hits that they achieved between 1998 and 2001.
