musicbiz101wp – Welcome to New York is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, taken from her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014). The song was written and produced by Swift and Ryan Tedder, with additional production from Noel Zancanella.
It was released on October 20, 2014 as a promotional single for the album, through Big Machine Records. A synth-pop, disco, and electropop track complemented by a pulsed synthesizer, it explores Swift’s newfound freedom, inspired by her relocation to New York City in March 2014.
Contemporary music critics have criticized the lyrics, arguing that they lack substance compared to popular New York tribute songs. A number of others defended the song, citing LGBT equality, and praising its production.
The song reached the top 10 in New Zealand, and entered the top 20 of the charts in Canada, Hungary, and Scotland. In the United States, “Welcome to New York” reached number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Swift donates all proceeds to the New York City Department of Education.
Taylor Swift: Welcome To New York Lyrics
Walking through a crowd
The village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud
Heartbeats under coats
Everybody here
Wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadn’t
Heard before
And it said
Welcome to New York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It’s a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome-to-New-York
Welcome-to-New-York
When we first dropped our bags on
Apartment floors
Took our broken hearts
Put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else
Before
And you can want who you want
Boys and boys and
Girls and girls
Welcome-to-New-York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome-to-New-York
Welcome-to-New-York
Welcome-to-New-York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome-to-New-York
Welcome-to-New-York
It’s a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me
Welcome-to-New-York (New York)
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome-to-New-York
Welcome-to-New-York
Like any great love it keeps you
Guessing
Like any real love
It’s ever-changing
Like any true love
It drives you crazy
But you know you wouldn’t
Change anything anything
Anything
Welcome-to-New-York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome-to-New-York
Welcome-to-New-York
Welcome-to-New-York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome-to-New-York
Welcome-to-New-York
It’s a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me
Welcome-to-New-York
New soundtrack
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome-to-New-York
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me
Welcome-to-New-York
So bright
They never blind me
Welcome-to-New-York
Welcome-to-New-York
