"Free the World" is a single by American singer La Toya Jackson. Jackson stayed secluded for 5 years after divorcing her abusive late ex-husband and manager, Jack Gordon, in 1997. After her years in exile, the September 11th attacks inspired Jackson to write the song "Free the World". She recorded it and performed it for friends, who immediately fell in love with it. This lead to the revival of Jackson's 20-year-old music career.

Jackson began to work on her Startin' Over album, which included the Billboard hit "Just Wanna Dance" as the lead single. "Free the World" was released as a follow-up in March of 2005. The "Free the World" single peaked at #24 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play charts. While Startin' Over has not yet been released, it has been confirmed by Jackson's management that "Free the World" will not be included on the final cut.
