It's a Big World Out There (And I Am Scared) is an EP by American indie rock band Kurt Vile and the Violators, released on November 19, 2013, on Matador Records.

Regarding the release, Vile noted: "It's more of like a psychedelic journey that's a companion piece to the style of [Wakin on a Pretty Daze], than an EP that just stands on its own.

"[2] It's a Big World Out There (And I Am Scared) was mostly recorded during the same sessions as Kurt Vile's fifth studio album, Wakin on a Pretty Daze, and includes variations on the tracks, "Never Run Away", "Snowflakes Are Dancing" and "Air Bud".

Regarding the track, "Feel My Pain", Vile noted, "[The song is a] stripped-down, ominous folk number, exceptionally meticulous in its finger-picked arrangement, [it] has since become a favorite of mine for all its rawness.

And we tried to put that on [Wakin on a Pretty Daze], and we added all these tracks to it, making it more in that epic fashion.
