"All Around Me" is a song by American band Flyleaf from their self-titled debut album, Flyleaf (2005). It was released as the third single on April 23, 2007. It is the band's highest-charting and only single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and their most successful single to date.

The song was certified four-times platinum in the U.S. on September 9, 2025, selling over 4,000,000 copies.[4]
