Welcome to New York" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It will be released as a promotional single on October 20, 2014 from Swift's upcoming fifth studio album, 1989. The song was released to digital download on iTunes on October 21, 2014]The song is the first track on Swift's upcoming album] Prior to the digital release Swift released a 30 second sampler of the song on YouTube. When discussing the song with E! Online, Swift states that "The inspiration that I found in that city is kind of hard to describe and hard to compare to any other force of inspiration I've ever experienced in my life." She continued on by stating "I approached moving there with such wide-eyed optimism and sort of saw it as a place of endless potential and possibilities. You can kind of hear that reflected in this music and this first song especially. When discussing the songs placement on the album Swift stated the reason she wanted the track to be the first song on the the album was "because New York has been an important landscape and location for the story of my life in the last couple of years. You know, I dreamed about living in New York, I obssessed moving to New York and then I did it. And the inspiration that I've found in that city is kind of, hard to describe and hard to compare to any other, force of inspiration that I've experienced in my life, it's like an electric city. And I approached moving there with such wide-eyed optimism and sort of a side as a place of endless potential and possibilities and you can kind of hear reflected in this music and in this first song, especially."

I could get into these synths, but the blatant push of New York tourism (like that city needs any more of it) makes me wonder the song’s intentions.
