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
LA 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
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)

SONG MEANING

“New York” captures the emotional rush of chasing dreams, love, and identity in a city that never sleeps. The song reflects Addison Rae’s journey of reinvention and independence, using the iconic city as a metaphor for transformation and personal freedom. Lyrically, it explores themes of longing, ambition, and fleeting romance—suggesting that the fast-paced glamour of New York can be both thrilling and isolating. Beneath its glossy pop sound lies a vulnerability, as Rae navigates the tension between public image and private emotion, making the track both a love letter and a cry for clarity in the chaos of fame.
