"Rule the World: The Greatest Hits" is a compilation album by English pop rock band Tears for Fears, released in 2017 by Virgin EMI Records. This album serves as an updated version of their 1992 release Tears Roll Down (Greatest Hits 82–92), retaining almost every track from the original compilation, with the exception of "Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down)". It also includes additional singles from the three studio albums the band released after Tears Roll Down, as well as two new songs: "Stay" and "I Love You but I'm Lost", the latter co-written with Dan Smith of the band Bastille. The song "I Love You but I'm Lost" was released as a digital single on October 13, 2017.
The album achieved commercial success, peaking at No. 12 on the UK chart, marking the band's sixth UK top 20 album. It was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry for sales exceeding 100,000 copies.
In support of the album, the band planned a UK and European tour titled Rule the World Live 2018, which was initially scheduled to begin in April 2018. However, the tour was postponed to 2019 due to "unforeseen health concerns".
