Half the World Is Watching Me is the second album by Danish alternative rock band Mew, released on their own record label Evil Office in 2000. The album was originally printed in about only 5,000 copies, but has been reissued twice for wider distribution. The reissued version released 4 September 2007 includes a nine-track bonus disc. The original release and the 2007 reissue include a hidden track, "Ending". The final 11 seconds of "Ending" are in fact the first 11 seconds at the start of "Am I Wry? No" before the drums kick in.
To find the hidden track "Ending", which is identified by the purple circle at the center of the disc, start the opening track "Am I Wry? No" and rewind past 0:00.
This version did not include the hidden track "Ending", but added 2 bonus tracks (which are versions unique to this record). It is identifiable by a slightly different cover where the text has a white border, and an expanded booklet with full-page photographs of the band members. The disc is reflective, not totally white like the original release.
