    A number of gossip sites, such as EntertainmentWeekly and GossipCop have already dropped link bait claiming to have the song. But it’s just a set up.

    While Swift is keeping the song close to her chest (so to speak), IM has obtained the full lyrics. Check them out below and be ready to sing along when the song finally comes out.

    The single is expected to be included on her upcoming album 1989. “She’s already released “Shake it Off” and “Out of the Woods.”

    Both songs are pure pop and mark Taylor’s departure from country music to her entry full force into the crowded field of pop princesses.

    “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 the singer in a statement.

    “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.”

    Welcome To New York
    Written by Taylor Swift and Ryan Tedder
    Produced by Ryan Tedder

    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

    Chorus

    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…

    Chorus
