Take a Look Around is een nummer van de Amerikaanse raprockband Limp Bizkit uit 2000. Het is afkomstig van de soundtrack van de film Mission: Impossible II. Tevens is het de eerste single van Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, het derde studioalbum van Limp Bizkit.

De gitaarriff op het nummer is gebaseerd op het originele titelnummer van Mission: Impossible. Het nummer flopte in Amerika, maar werd wel een grote hit in Europa en Oceanië. In de Nederlandse Top 40 bereikte het de 8e positie, en in de Vlaamse Ultratop 50 de 10e.

"Take a Look Around" is a song by American nu metal band Limp Bizkit. First debuting on the soundtrack to the 2000 film Mission: Impossible 2, it is the first single and tenth track on their third album, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, and was released on July 3, 2000. The main riff of the song is derived from the original Mission: Impossible theme composed by Lalo Schifrin, however it deviates in its meter which is common time, except the bridge, which uses Schifrin's original 54 time signature. In the United Kingdom, "Take a Look Around" was Limp Bizkit's first single release.

The song became a European hit in mid-2000, reaching number one in Iceland and Portugal, number two in Finland and Spain, and number three in Italy and the UK. In addition to reaching the top 10 in several other European countries, it became a top-30 hit in Australia and New Zealand. The song received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2001 but lost to Rage Against the Machine's "Guerrilla Radio". An instrumental version of "Take a Look Around" was released as a promo and later included as a B-side on some versions of the "Rollin'" single.
