Enjoying the experiences granted by the titular city, New York is the opening track to Addison Rae’s self-titled debut album. Its existence on the album was first alluded to via a poster in New York.
[Intro]
Take a bite of The Big Apple
New York
[Chorus]
Oh God, I love New York
Love New York, love New York
Love New York, love New York
Feel so free, feel so free
Feel so free, it's my religion
Love New York, love New York
Love New York, love New York, love New York
Feel so free, feel so free
Feel so free, it's my religion
[Verse 1]
Out of control, time's moving slow
L.A. is home, but I'm ready to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Black car, pick me up from the airport
Drop my bags at The Bowery Hotel
Next stop to the club, I'm a dance whore
Kick drum, chew gum
[Chorus]
Oh God, I love New York
Love New York, love New York
Love New York, love New York
Feel so free, feel so free
Feel so free, it's my religion
Love New York, love New York
Love New York, love New York, love New York
Feel so free, feel so free
Feel so free, it's my religion
[Verse 2]
Hand on the pulse (Ah-ah), sex in the air (Can't stop me)
Feeding my soul, answer my prayer (Prayer, prayer)
[Pre-Chorus]
Black car, pick me up from the airport
Drop my bags at The Bowery Hotel
Next stop to the club, I'm a dance whore
Kick drum, chew gum
[Chorus]
Oh God, I love New York
Love New York, love New York
Love New York, love New York
Feel so free, feel so free
Feel so free, it's my religion
Love New York, love New York
Love New York, love New York, love New York
Feel so free, feel so free
Feel so free, it's my religion
Love New York, love New York
Love New York, love New York, love New York
Feel so free, feel so free
Feel so free, it's my religion
Love New York, love New York
Love New York, love New York, love New York
Feel so free, feel so free
Feel so free, it's my religion (Ah-ah)

No [‘New York’ wasn’t done in New York City], but that makes sense right? Because then I obviously had a great experience in New York and then I came home. Of course it wasn’t written in New York but the concept started there. It’s like the fantasy of it all, you know?
—via Zane Lowe interview
“New York” debuted at #61 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart, marking Addison’s sixth appearance and her fifth highest-peaking song on the chart.
