"A Different World" is the first single by American country musician, Bucky Covington, from his first album "Bucky Covington". He performed it at Great American Country in December 2006, and the song was released for country radio on January 16, 2007. The song is produced by Mark Miller, and was released by Lyric Street Records, a country label of Disney's Buena Vista Music Group.

The song is a reminiscence of the narrator's formative years; its lyrics illustrate examples of how much the world has changed since he was a child. Covington states during the chorus that it was "not just a different time / It was a different world".

Music Video

The video premiered on CMT's top 20 countdown on February 15th, 2007. It shows Bucky as a child, sitting in front of an old TV. He turns on the TV and we see the adult Bucky, who is on the patio of a house. Throughout the video, the young Covington watches his older counterpart on the TV as the adult Bucky walks around a small town, supposedly like the town he grew up in. Certain children in the town are shown leading a simpler life than most do today, as the song's lyrics describe. The video ends with the adult Covington entering the house where the young Bucky is watching. It then shows him as an adult shutting off a modern day TV.
