Woman of the World (The Best of 2007–2018) is a compilation album by Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald. The album was released on 23 November 2018 by Mercury Records.[1] Macdonald announced a European tour in support of the album, which took place between March and April 2019.
The album includes all of her greatest hits including "Mr Rock & Roll" and "This Is the Life", plus two new songs, "Woman of the World" and "Come Home"; both songs are included in the film Patrick. Talking about the album, Macdonald said, "I remember the week of the 30th July 2007 – I released my first ever album This Is The Life, and I wasn’t quite sure how I found myself in that position. My album was number 1 in countries I’d never even been to before [...] 10 years later people were still interested. I just felt that after such an incredible journey it was time to look back and feel proud of everything that has happened."[2]
