It was written by group members Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena, and Heidi Range, as well as Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Tim Powell, Nick Coler, and Lisa Cowling. It samples the song "Tango Forte" by German production team Dublex Inc., so the songwriters of that track are credited as well. Produced by Kevin Bacon and Jonathan Quarmby, the song was released as the second single from the group's second studio album, ''Angels with Dirty Faces'' (2002).

Following its release on 12 August 2002, "Round Round" peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the group's second number-one single domestically. In August 2022, it was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). "Round Round" also reached the top 10 in Austria, Ireland, Italy, and New Zealand, among other countries. In 2003, it became the group's first single to chart in the United States, peaking at number seven on the ''Billboard'' Dance Singles Sales chart. Alongside "Sound of the Underground" by Girls Aloud, this song has been credited in reshaping British pop music for the 2000s.<ref>[https://xenomanianews.blogspot.com/2009/11/end-of-decade-sound-of-overground-nme.html End of Decade: Sound of the Overground (NME article, November 2009)]</ref>

==Background== "Round Round" was written by Brian Higgins, Miranda Cooper, Lisa Cowling, Tim Powell, Nick Coler, Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena, and Heidi Range.<ref name="booklet"/> Due to the inclusion of a sample from "Tango Forte" by Dublex Inc., Florian Pflueger, Felix Stecher, Robin Hofmann, and Rino Spadavecchia are also credited as songwriters.<ref name="booklet"/> In turn, "Tango Forte" is based around an uncredited sample from "Whatever Lola Wants" performed by American composer Les Baxter.<ref name="booklet"/> Production on "Round Round" was helmed by Kevin Bacon and Jonathan Quarmby for Manna Productions based on an original track Higgins and Powell had created for Xenomania Records, while Jeremy Wheatley provided additional production and handled the mixing.<ref name="booklet"/> Guitar recording and programming were overseen by Yoad Nevo for 247 Arists.<ref name="booklet"/>

Musically, "Round Round" was actually built up of a number of different songs.<ref name="DS"/> On the BBC2 series ''Secrets of the Pop Song'', Brian Higgins described the genesis of the song: "We had a drum track which was just stunning and so I sat down with Miranda [Cooper] on the one day we had the Sugababes in the studio and said 'Right, you know, this is a hit, this piece of music is a hit. I haven't got anything on it, we don't have any song attached to it. So what are we gonna do about that? You've got three hours to come up with something'."<ref name="DS"/> Subsequently, Cooper went through her catalogue of unused tracks that she had written over the last two or three years and sang the chorus of every single song against Higgins' piece of drumming.<ref name="DS"/> Three hours later, she sang the lyrics "round round baby round round" to Higgins, who said "that's it, that's amazing."<ref name="DS">{{cite web|url=https://www.digitalspy.com/music/feature/a813868/sugababes-the-surprising-stories-behind-six-of-their-biggest-hits/|title=The surprising stories behind 6 of Sugababes' biggest hits|last=Kheraj|first=Alim|work=Digital Spy|date=12 November 2016|access-date=16 January 2017}}</ref>

==Music video== 220px|thumb|right|The Sugababes featured as a band performing on a rotating platform in the video for "Round Round". The music video for "Round Round" was directed by Phil Griffin.<ref name="DVD">{{cite AV media notes|title=Overloaded: The Singles Collection|type=DVD liner notes|publisher= Island Records|date=November 2006}}</ref> It has the group performing on a rotating platform, while being surrounded by a tornado with dust and rubble accumulating in it. There is a rusty caged wall with an audience watching, a pair of sunglasses and a ring get sucked into the tornado from them. When Heidi's verse comes up, everything moves in slow-motion, including the tornado, before speeding up again. The girls slowly walk around three male dancers in the middle, and for the end chorus it appears the tornado has dissipated.

==Cover versions== The song was covered by Hong Kong singer Emme Wong in Cantonese in 2003. It was Wong's first single after her record label Universal Music modified her image for a sexier direction. The song quickly became a hit, due to its sexually explicit lyrics and dance moves, as well as the TV-banned video. The song reached the top of several music charts across Southeast China. In the year end, it won a number of awards, including "Best Covered Song", "Best Dance Record", and "Best Stage Performance".
