"Across the Universe" is a song by British singer-songwriter Holly Johnson, which was released in 1991 as the second single from his second studio album Dreams That Money Can't Buy.

In a 1991 interview with Melody Maker, Johnson spoke of the meaning behind the song, "That's me completely pissed off with the planet and the city and just wanting to get away.

"[5] Andrew Collins of New Musical Express described it as "disgusting hogwash" and added, "Starts with a wolf-howl and then descends into galactic camp that has none of Betty Boo's appeal, but all of her ideas (that's both of them)."

[7] In a review of Dreams That Money Can't Buy, Select considered the song a successful example of Johnson "adequately translat[ing] the maximum stomp of classic hi-NRG into '90s pop".

They described the song as "a self-explanatory crazy acid whirl in space with much silliness and bucketfuls of Holly's adorable camp naffness.
