"If the World" is the fourth track on Guns N' Roses' 2008 album Chinese Democracy. It was also included in the film Body of Lies.
Live[]
"If the World" made its live debut at the Taipei, Taiwan show on December 11, 2009, which was the first Guns N' Roses show since 2007. Other songs played for the first time that night were "Shackler's Revenge" and "This I Love". It continued to be played regularly for the majority of the Asian and Canadian tours, but seemed to be phased out during the South American leg and hasn't been played since.
