Half the World Is Watching Me is an album by Danish band Mew, released in 2000.

Mew's second album, released on their own label 'Evil Office' (and Distributed by Playhouse Records) in 2000.

The album was only printed in about 5000 copies total, making it worth around $200 on eBay, until the band decided to re-release it. It was re-released on August 6 2007, along with a nine-track bonus CD. The re-released version features the track-list from the first release, with Ending in the pregap.

The album was printed in three version, seeing as the first versions secret track "ending" would make the CD unable to play on some systems. To compensate for this, the album was released in a version without "ending" , hence only including eight tracks (3rd version), and one including two bonus tracks.
