A Great Big World Takes On The World

“It’s pretty unbelievable that we’ve reached a point where we’re able to travel half-way across the Earth, and have fans coming to see us and support us,” Axel and Vaccarino said in a joint statement. “That’s why we write. That’s why we perform – to connect. The world is beginning to feel a lot smaller than our name suggests!”

A Great Big World has been getting a ton of exposure lately. The act was featured as the first VH1 “You Oughta Know” artist of 2014. In February the duo was the first-ever musical guest on “Late Night with Seth Myers.” And then, of course, there’s their hit single “Say Something” featuring Christina Aguilera. Tune in to “Glee” on Tuesday, April 1 to see the cast of the Fox show cover A Great Big World’s anthem “Rockstar.” Last year “Glee” featured the band’s song “This Is The New Year.”

The band is promoting its latest single, “Already Home,” from their 2013 debut, Is There Anybody Out There?

“We wrote this song years ago, but it’s kind of spooky how much the lyrics mean to us now that we’ve been away touring for months,” the guys said. “We’re realizing that ‘home’ doesn’t need to be a tangible and physical thing. It can be that quiet place that is always there inside of you, or the love that exists between two people, no matter how far apart. So in that sense, we are always ‘home.’”
