"Rock My World" is the name of a 1988 hit single by British pop group Five Star. It became their last ever UK Top 40 hit, peaking at #28. The video saw the band leather clad, with long hair extensions, dancing in the bottom of a quarry, with dumper trucks driving around them. The B-side, "Sweetest Innocence", received a BPI award for best instrumental.
During the last half of 1988, Five Star experienced a decline in sales, their album Rock The World, from which this single came from, only reaching #17 on the album chart, the first LP since Silk and Steel not to make the Top 10. The next single, "There's A Brand New World", would bring Five Star's run of 16 consecutive Top 20 hits to an end - it only reached #61.
