'Welcome To New York' is written by Taylor Swift and Ryan Tedder (One Republic) and produced by Ryan Tedder, Noel Zancanella and Taylor Swift. This is the second song revealed from 1989, Taylor's forthcoming fifth studio album, while the current single, 'Shake It Off', remains atop the charts across the globe.
'I started the album with 'Welcome To New York' because New York has been an important landscape and location for the story of my life in the last couple of years,' said Taylor. 'It's like an electric city, and I approached moving there with such wide-eyed optimism. I saw New York as a place of endless potential and possibilities and you can hear that reflected in this music and in this song.'
'Shake It Off' is the first single off her fifth studio album 1989 (Big Machine Records/ Virgin EMI), which will be released on 27th October 2014. The single has topped Billboard's Hot 100 charts and has earned double Platinum-status by the RIAA for exceeding sales of two million downloads in the U.S., and has peaked at No. 1 in 64 countries on iTunes. While in the UK 'Shake It Off' has peaked at No.1 on iTunes, spent 3 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the radio airplay charts, 9 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the official singles chart, and has been certified gold with over 400,000 sales.
