Currently (and for the forseeable near future), Mandarin has the most native speakers and possibly the most total speakers. The vast majority of people who speak Mandarin, however, reside in China. Although English is only third in native speakers, it is the most common second language in the world and probably the most total speakers. By this measure, English would be the most widespread language in the world. This is probably due to the long influence and wide range of the original English Empire and the significant modern influence of the Commonwealth nations and the United states in trade, science, diplomacy, etc.

Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world based on the number of native speakers.
Mandarin Chinese is the most spoken language in the world, with over a billion speakers.
While Mandarin Chinese probably has the greatest number of people speaking it, if we consider the question as "what language do the most people know how to use", then it would be English. If we take it as "what language can be spoken world wide by the most people", that would be English. And if we take it as "what is the most popular secondary language to learn", that would be English. While over a billion people in China do then speak Mandarin, the fact that there are over a billion people in India who learn English as a second language balances that nicely. And of course, people in China often learn English.
While English is widely spoken and considered important for international communication and business, there is no definitive "most important" language. Different languages hold significance based on cultural, economic, and historical factors.
English is widely spoken due to the historical dominance of the British Empire and the United States, which spread English worldwide. It is also the language of international business, diplomacy, and the internet, further cementing its global importance. Additionally, English is relatively easy to learn compared to other languages, making it accessible to a wide range of people.
The Spanish language became widely spoken due to the historical expansion of the Spanish Empire across the globe during the Age of Exploration. Spanish colonization and conquest in the Americas, as well as in other regions such as Africa and Asia, contributed to the spread and influence of the language. Today, Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world by number of native speakers.
