Light Up the World is the forthcoming, fourth studio album by British pop group Steps and will be released on 12 November 2012. This will be the band's first, new full-studio album since 2000's Buzz (featuring new recordings) since their split in 2001. It is also the first release on Steps' own label Steps Recordings.
The Christmas-themed album was announced on September 24, 2012 and will coincide with the 15th anniversary of the release of their debut single 5,6,7,8. The album will be supported by the lead single of the same name and a 6-date UK tour entitled Christmas with Steps
The Re-View gave the title track a positive review saying,: "‘Light Up The World’ is a big pop ballad, drenched in 90s nostalgia, with a dramatic swooping chorus and is quite wonderful. While music tastes and styles have certainly changed since they last troubled the singles chart, there is something quite refreshing about Steps’ unapologetic old pop skool approach to their new release...".[1]
