Light Up the World is the first Christmas album, and the fourth studio album, by British pop group Steps. The album was released on 12 November 2012 after it was announced on 24 September 2012. It is the band's first studio album since 2000's Buzz. It is also the first release on Steps' own label, Steps Recordings. Recording sessions began in August 2012, and took place over a period of two months, concluding in October 2012.
The album's promotion included a lead single release, "Light Up the World", an original song, as well as many performances of the single on TV shows including This Morning and QVC; the music video for the song was the performance from This Morning. The album was also supported by album signings across the UK and a 6-date UK tour entitled Christmas with Steps, which was a Christmas themed small theatre tour that used a real band to play many of their hits that they performed as well as songs that the band didn't perform on their Ultimate Tour.
