"World Where You Live" is a 1986 song by rock group Crowded House. It was the second single from the group's debut album Crowded House.[1] Though it was the second single, "World Where You Live" was the first internationally released single, as the first single "Mean To Me" was only released in Australia. It was released a month after the album Crowded House was released.

The song later appeared on Crowded House's greatest hits compilation Recurring Dream and was performed at the group's farewell concert Farewell to the World.
