***Cilla's World*** is the title of [Cilla Black's](/source/Cilla_Black) thirteenth solo [studio album](/source/Studio_album). It was a concept album themed around sixteen original children's songs about animals, green issues and the environment recorded specifically for the Australian music market (Black's second most successful music market in the world).

Sold on the idea of such an unusual concept, Black agreed to go ahead with the album that featured primarily songs co-written by [Play School](/source/Play_School_(Australian_TV_series)) TV presenter [Don Spencer](/source/Don_Spencer). The recording sessions were held at [AIR Studios](/source/AIR_Studios) in London and although produced by Ron Edwards were supervised by Black's former producer [George Martin](/source/George_Martin).

The project was independently produced by the music company MCA/Gilbey and released by [Virgin](/source/Virgin_Records) in Australia, which produced the album's packaging from recycled paper.

In 1993, the album was given a release in [Great Britain](/source/Great_Britain) by Silva Screen Records.
