The song was released as a single on November 14, 1997; it was the fourth single released from the album. Like the previous three singles, which all reached No. 1 or No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, "Been Around the World" hit No. 2 on the chart, in the first two weeks of 1998;[1] it was kept out of the No. 1 spot by Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997" (the second best-selling single of all time). "Been Around the World" did reach No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.

The song's music video was directed by Paul Hunter. It features Mase and Puff Daddy as spies. The video includes appearances by Vivica A. Fox, Quincy Jones, Wyclef Jean and Jennifer Lopez.
