"Anywhere in the World" is a collaborative single by English DJ, guitarist, music producer, artist Mark Ronson and English singer-songwriter Katy B. It was recorded as part of Coca-Cola's Move to the Beat promotional campaign for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.[1][2] The single was released as a digital download on 30 March 2012 in Belgium and it was released in the UK on 13 May 2012.

Background

Ronson used recorded snippets of the athletes—Mexican Taekwondo athlete Maria del Rosario Espinoza muffled punches, Russian runner Kseniya Olegovna Vdovina's heartbeat—in his anthemic instrumental.

Cover versions

There is also a Bulgarian version of the single, called "Навсякъде по света" (lit. 'Everywhere in the World'). It features Raffi Bohosyan, Angel & Moisey and Krisko.[3] A Spanish version called "Únete al movimiento" was recorded by Mexican group Belanova. For Switzerland a version featuring Geneva rapper M.A.M. replacing Katy's verses was recorded.
