"Take On the World" is a song by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, originally released on their 1978 album Killing Machine, and released as a single in January 1979. It was the first Judas Priest single to chart in the UK Top 40 reaching number 14. The song was an attempt at producing a stadium shoutalong tune in the mould of Queen's "We Will Rock You". It was also covered by new wave band The Human League on their 1980 tour.
